Can: Clear golden colour, with a white head. Aroma of malt,fruity,grass,hay,and a nice hopy nose. Flavor is almost the same a bit thin body, and a short to medium dry/bitter finish.

500ml can. Small is pleasantly hoppy, though not too special. Appearance is dark golden colour, with decent head. Mild malty flavouring. Goes down smooth. I first had a warm can that was underwhelming, but thought I should have a cold one before judging. The cold one was fairly impressive. Might pick this up again, pretty good price for it I’d say. I gave this an upgrade as it was much, much better in a bottle.

Pours a clear pale hay yellow with a bubbly white head. Nice looking lacing. Refreshing mouth feel. Smells grassy and quite hoppy. Flavour is surprisingly tame for the aroma. A little dissapointing. A little taste of melts, biscuit and yeast. Has a bare finish. Almost no bitterness in this one. Not that great I think.

Can. Pale yellow colour with a white head. Malty aroma with light grainy notes. Similar flavour with vegetable notes.

Bottle poured into a pilsner glass. Pours a sparkling, clear gold with a loose, frothy, white head. The aroma has Trans-Atlantic Green Bottle Syndrome: Skunk. More skunk and the wet dog that’s been sprayed by the skunk. Once allowed to "air out", I detect muted notes of pilsner malt and faint grassy/earthy hops. I have to think that the aroma would be a lot more pronounced coming from a can. Light-bodied, without being thin, the mouthfeel features moderate carbonation and a clean, crisp conclusion. Sweet, lightly bready pilsner malt fronts a lightly grassy hop finish. Despite being light-struck, this is actually a pretty nice example of the style and a fairly tasty brew. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for this one in a can.

Cask at Zeitgeist @ The Jolly Gardener. A typical german oils, clear, light, but flavour somewhat was lacking. Some yeast and metal left an uninspiring finish.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.
