Bottle brown, 500 ml, 11 P
Appearance: Pours yellowish, pale golden, very gently carbonated and perfectly clear in texture of the body, saturation is moderate, head is white, regular in structure, initially big, decreasing to medium, quite firm, there is a nice lacing.
Aroma: Nice and much cleaner aroma than its predecessor ’Urig Würzig’, gentle herbal, aromatic hoppy nose but very faint, slightly spiced up by some spieses and quite harsh grainy notes. Much better quality of hops reminding me ά - Lublin hops. Very nice grainy touch, kind of wetness, reduced yeastyness.
Flavour: Very nice, strongly bitter, herbal, hoppy front and nose with good quality hops, alcohol is felt to some extent, noble and clean malty touch, nice grains on palate, very well combined, finish duration is medium, gentle alcoholic touch.
Palate: Body is light, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is moderate to lively, finish feel is chalky, grainy, highly astringent.

Bottle. Clear yellow colour with large creamy white mostly lasting head. Hoppy Aroma. Bitter flavor.

Pours a nice light golden yellow. Aromas of hops, grass, and maybe malt. Taste is crisp with a nice mellow hop flavor.

Bottle. Very hoppy and malty (guess the name). Clear yellow body, big white foamy head, long lasting. Light bitter start, short duration. Light to medium body, light dry texture, soft carbonation.

Bottle. Immediately I was overcome by the smells of honey and lingering molasses. A VERY sweet Lager indeed. There were large bits of sediment present as well. Little to no head, same goes for the carbonation. The flavour was not quite as sweet as the aroma, but a bit sticky feeling. I detected a lot of hops and some malt as well. A bit of a dry finish. Not a bad beer, but not for the feint at heart either!
