| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Feb 19, 2004 This isn't the best copper coloured beer on the face of the earth. It is interesting to see this comming from Germany. And at least, something half-decent comming out of Holsten. Cognac colour with a medium sized quickly disipating, tawny head. Aromas are light but malty and sweet. Lots of caramel, buttery, mild malts and a little hop finish. It's worth a try. TipsyMcStager (928), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 29, 2004 Aroma is malty with a slight mustiness. Pours a light copper, white foamy head. Very unremarkable. Doesn't really have any kind of punch. Hops are there but do not stand out. A dry, flat finish. Drinkable but not one to search for. chriso (4796), London, Greater London, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 28, 2004 What have we here. A lager that thinks its a beer? Orangey copper colour. Earthy/woody (I think I detect the influence of the beech aging) malt in the aroma. The mouthfeel is like a lager, but there is a fruitiness more like an ale. Dryish finish. A bit English in style - but with quite low bitterness levels. Not bad, but not that exciting. Bottle (500ml)

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 27, 2004 Soft and clear brown, head forms reluctantly but seems to hold OK.
Aroma is also mild, but pleasant. Some caramel, but not really sweet.
A bit smoky taste, mostly soft malt. Fairly unremarkable, if drinkable. More flavour, more character... or something like that is needed. Garrat (1132), Suffolk, England

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 11, 2004 Pours a nice copper colour with a off white head, very nice. Aroma... caramel malts with a slight scent of citrus. Slight earth aroma. Initial sip is very smooth with loads of malty goodness. Caramel and molasses flavours. Has a nice soft carbonation to it. Ends with slightly bitter sweet flavours and the malt lasts....Very good! Radek Kliber (3957), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 10, 2004 Aroma of full bodied lager but with touch of smoky feel. Bitter with woody a la English ale feel (malt). Clean, decently brewed alt. Reminds me of English bitter ale mixed with sweet malty helles. clvand0 (350), Lexington, Kentucky, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 7, 2004 This beer was brought back by some friends who went to Germany. It poured a light brown color with a modest tan head and left a little lacing on the glass as well. The aroma was a little fruity and also a little wood-like. The flavor reminds me a little of straw, some malts, and it finishes very well and clean. Not bad.
