Alla spina alla Hofbrauhaus a Genova; aroma da heller bock, con malto dolce e un sentore cerealicolo un po’ strano, nonché presenza di luppoli. Sapore dolce e un po’ metallico, frizzantezza elevata, corpo leggero. Purtroppo, niente di che.

Grainy, bit skunky hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured with a medium, not lasting head. Taste is sweet and more bitter towards the finish. Some malts and herbal hops. slightly sparkling on the tongue.

(bottle) Deep golden with a frothy white medium head. Sweet grainy nose with wet straw and honey. Starts sweet malty with a fruity appearance, medium bodied, light sweet finish with a well blended herbal hoppy bitterness, destroyed a bit by a sharp alcoholic note.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty yellowish golden with a rather limited head. Dominated by malt in both aroma and flavours with notes of aromahops. A Christmas beer but a close relative to the same brewery’s Oktoberfestbier. 200501 and 080802

Bottle from Epps, Limerick, PA. Pours dark straw colored with aroma of caramel malt, hops, slight nut meats. Tastes caramel malty up front, with some finishing hops, honey, and almonds in the finish.

Golden colour, medium-sized fluffy head, a bit longer lasting; sweetish nose, traces of honey, caramel, some alcohol, maybe some hops from far behind; starts with a light sweetness, moderate bitter-sweet flavour, shy bitter-sweet finish with a light herbal hoppiness; medium bodied, well rounded; quite pleasant and well quaffable !
