A yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is malty with notes of hay and hops. The flavor is sweet malty and runs slightly prickling over the tongue to end on a dry note.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pilsener golden with a small, creamy head. Light malty nose. Soft malty sweetness and some discreet hops in the finish. Slight tang of cardboard. 170905

Can (BB 11/2007)
Pale yellow color, decent white head. Cardboard and rye plus some grassy hops in the nose. Sweet malty, light vegetables and ryeish hops in the flavor. Unbalanced. Like many other Austrian "märzen", this is not a märzen but a pale lager.

Bottle. Light grassy aroma. Malty, light grassy hopbitter flavor. Hint of butter. Satisfyingly balanced lager.

Bottle. Golden color and a good hoppy aroma and sweet taste, medium body and a light sweet bitter finish.

Golden, clear and fizzy. Almost headless. Immediately metallic nose with corny pale malts and extremely sweet grainy flavours. Thin bodied, low carbonation. I can’t imagine this being served from any other vessel than a can.
