An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is malty and hoppy, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and hops.

(Bottle 50 cl) Rather pale with a limited head. Slightly watery but has an intriguing and very pleasant soft, sweetish malt-character. By far the maltiest Oktoberfest I’ve had so far. Limited bitterness. Very quaffable 111199

Bottled. Clear pale golden, dense head. Spicy grassy hops up front. These spicy hops balance out the sweet, buttery malt. Medium bodid with solid malt impact and salty bitterish finish.

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour, with about 2 cm white head. Aroma of sweet malt and a bit fruity. Flavor is sweet and malty and a little bitter in the aftertaste. Still pretty boring beer. (Was rated in December 2004, but I temporarily had lost the papers with results from this particular weekend)
