Aroma says it all. Just like too many other beers that smell awful and deliver the same taste.

Bottle. Poured pale yellow with lasting thick white head. Aroma of hops, new hay and meadow grass. Rather thin flavour of malt, with a tiny bit of toast. Light faint hop finish. Why drink this? It’s light enough for a session beer, and it’s cheaper than a trip to Munich.

Bottle, bought @ Ambrosetti, Berlin.
Pours hazy golden-yellow with a small, frothy, white head. Aroma is grainy, bready malts and fine crisp flowery hops. Light carbonation, rather nice mouthfeel. Flavour is grainy sweet, fine crispness with good flowery and grassy hops at the end.

tap, pours light gold, with a thin white head. Straw and hay aroma. Thin watery mess, some light malt, no bitterness in the finish. Very boring.

Nice yellow pour with a white head. Sweet aroma and taste. A bit of a refreshing beer, some earthiness to it.

On tap (or perhaps from a bottle) in Munich; I had alot of there beers while there, but this was the only one I hadn’t rated. Clear yellow pour with a small to medium white head. Aroma of pale and sweet malt, with a hint of grassy hops. Flavor is the same; straightforward and good for its purpose.

330ml green glass bottle served in a footed pilsner glass. Pale gold with brilliant clarity, topped by a big fluffy white head. Smells slightly sweet with some soap, spicy and herbal hops, and lightly skunked. The flavor is light grain and a mild grass hoppiness. Simple and refreshing but would probably be much better if it wasn’t packaged in green glass.

In an effort to knock out the rest of my backlog, my ratings will be fairly generic and sparse. If the beer had anything special to offer, it will be noted following this disclaimer. The number ratings above are accurate based on my tasting notes. Following the elimination of my backlog, all beers will be entered in real time and will be more useful. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Been drinking a lot of this for sessioning at Redlight Redlight. Great in a liter mug! Pretty good standard fare.
