Bottle 0.33 L. Clear golden body with an average, frothy, white head mostly diminishing with a fair lacing. Heavy hoppy aroma (flowers) but quickly disappearing; then the flowers note becomes moderate and a light malty note is also perceptible; maybe a fuity note is also present. Moderate bitter-sweet flavour; bitter note a bit more evident in the finish. Light-to-medium body with a watery texture; soft carbonation; light metallic feeling in the finish. Well balanced and pleasant beer; one of my favorite commercial lagers.

Vom Fass at Chinesischer Turm München 18 Jun 07. Golden coloured. A small white head leaving patterns on the glass. Some hops, but otherwise quite ordinary.

500ml vom fass. Clear golden with a decent white head. Malty aroma with light hoppy notes. Taste of (very) sweet malt and grain. Thin palate and rather dull (Chinesischer Turm, München 18.06.2007).

sono molto affezionato a questa birreria, che è stata una delle prime a introdurmi nel mondo di una birra un po’ meno brodosa di quella che bevevo da tredicenne. Tuttavia, non posso trascurare il fatto di essermi spinto un pochino oltre, e questa Original mi pare la meno meritevole di quelle che ho assaggiato.

Golden with a nice head. The aroma is very boring with notes of tired malt. The flavour is thin with a weak bitterness.
