I’m not sure why this gets such low reviews because it is an excellent example of its kind. Very malty, slightly alchol in flavor with low amount of hops to balance the cereal sweetness. Beautiful aroma pouring an ochre yellow hue you’d expect from a late season Octoberfest.

[bottle] Grainy base malt aroma with notes of apricot and cinnamon. Clear yellow with a white ring and dots. Strong lager flavour: malty and ethanolic with a good amount of bitterness and perhaps even some higher alcohols, acetone. Medium body, moderate carbonation, almost clean finish.

Clear golden, bright yellow color with medium, vanishing and lacy white head. Aroma is grainy malty and mildly alcoholic. Flavor is also grainy malty and alcoholic but it is still very smooth. Medium-bodied and foamy carbonated palate. Overall very straightforward beer which is extremely easy to drink while enjoying other thing uch as atmosphere. The beer itself is not enjoyable but it’s absolutely doing the job it’s been brewed for.

Pours clear light golden color with an off white head. Malty grainy aroma, with some bread and a small amount of grassy hops. Sweet malty flavor, with a smooth toasty bready finish. Nice crisp easy to drink beer. I was initially disappointed by the appearance and aroma of the beer, but the flavor was better and it ended up being an ok beer.

Pours clear, golden colour with a white large head. Aroma is strong and malty with fruity, buttery and earthy notes. Full, strong mouthfeel, a bit fizzy. Some metallic notes too. Aftertaste has some alcohol.

Bottle (355ml) 6%. Poured fizzy yellow with an averaged sized, frothy, off-white head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was of musty grainy malts with floral/grassy hops, parsley, lemon citrus, light yeasty/bread notes and some lychee in the back. Flavour was of sweet grainy malts with a light grassy hop bitterness, lemon citrus, brown bread and some light metallic notes in the finish. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation, a dry mouthfeel, thin texture and an ok finish.
