<b>Bottle 50cl.</b>
Clear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, light hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20081004]

Bottle, 4.9%. Weak hay aroma. Pale yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour starts off bready, turns clean. OK bitterness in the finish.

Hay aroma. Creamy and flowery. Hoppyt flavor with some malty tones. Not really refreshing, the floweriness plays a dominant part in this beer.

Bottle: Straw golden coloured, big white fluffy, lacing head; grainy nose, combined with some grassy hoppiness, very mild bitter flavour, short dry, but smooth bitter finish; all in all quite mild and better, because not so agressive, than the most "extract"-spiced brews

Grown up in the shadows of Hoesch Phoenix Steel Works it is bitter to remember the old Stiftsbräu in the neighbourhood. Nowadays we have a mainstream brew which is sill acceptable according to the price of 7,5 €/20bottles. A quite fine (mainstream) Pils brewed by DAB. But RIP to the old (retired) Stiftsherren Pils of Stifts´ I liked so much during the old school days.
