| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 25, 2006 Bronze colour. The aroma is lightly spicy, caramelly and rather toasty. Slightly chewy with brown sugar, and again quite a bit of toastiness. A rough, unrefined version. duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 22, 2004 Tap@Elysian. Quite sticky and malty, bready malts, a little grainy. Also got a hint of beery fruit, i think its rasberry, but definitely got a hint of berries. Besides this, theres not much length, and it was a little bit too sticky, some alcohol noticed in the finish. JorisPPattyn (5181), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 20, 2006 Draught Good persistent yellowish head leaving lace; orangey-clear beer. Slight bitterish nose, a bit lactic and caramel malts. Sweet, breadsugar but not bready. Ever so slight caramelly and hopbitterness. Lots of fresh-tasting malts, but not very Germanic. Slick, well bodied, a bit cloying even. Not exactly my favourite from Elysian. Taste a real German one and adapt - or give it another name? JoeMcPhee (5010), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 29, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Nice pale malt aroma. A little bit nutty but reasonably clean. Fresh pale malt with low hoppiness. Nothing spectacular, but itll do. JPDIPSO (4921), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 2, 2004 (Bottle) Lightly hazed amber color with a Moderate diminishing light beige head. Smells like an amber with a touch of licorice and bacon. Not very lager like. Sweet malty sweet and light earthy smoke and spicy hops. Quite a bit of warming alcohol for a moderate strength brew. More like a strong amber ale. I agree with joet 2 years after the fact. BückDich (4851), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 6, 2006 Bottle: Pours a golden amber color, light tawny. Retentive off-white head and plenty of lacing. Nose of light sweet fruit; kiwi, grape, canteloupe. Some malts and a light citrusy hop character. The flavor is balanced, full bodied and a bit lacking in the tail. A good build up but no concerto. Decent but not worth seeking again. Thanks Andre! motelpogo (4394), Plzen, Czech Republic
