This beer is so good it’s great. Probably the first beer I ever had, when I was like 18, in Munich at the Hofbreaehaus. Yum. Delicious.

bottled, thin pale yellow pour with medium white head, aroma of mild hint of hops with sweet fruit note, sweet up front with nice hops in the end and overall light malt flavor, no lingering flavor on palate, very "light" beer to drink nothing too overwhelming

12 oz. bottle poured into pilsner glass. Yellow and effervescent with thick, white head, diminishing and foamy. Nose of corn and skunk, mild grain. Grainy base with fruity apple and mild bitter. Grassy notes and relatively dry. full carb in the mouth feel. Slightly skunky taste, but not too terribly bad. Very drinkable. I could chug this in Landfill’s face.

Very pale color....skunky smell....almost made me not want to drink it. But besides that, not a bad beer. Very east to drink....very hoppy taste....not a crisp clean finish, but not as bad as some other beers. Would def drink again

Pale yellow, little head. Clean delicate shortbread aroma, some hops. Clean finish and light bodied. No glaring flaws, though nothing about this beer makes it great either. This would be easy to drink out of a 2L boot. Whisper of hop character in the back end, much more malt forward.

Bottle. Pours a golden blonde body with a white head. Sweet malty with a bitter sweet finish of grassy earthy hop character. decent.

Good hop aroma and taste. Blond color. Thin body. More like a Pils than a Dortmunder?
