Draught. Pours clear gold with a thick head. CLean and a bit fruity, grassy bits on the end. Decent. and drinkable.

Draught Fully yellow-gold with foamy white head. Very "beery" nose with emphasis on malt, finish being grassy. Malty taste with a little toasted edge, corn flakes, ending quite dry, just short of bitterish. Rather slick, even nearly oily MF. Pleasing, but very down-to-earth beer. A Maß is definitely the most for me.

Sampled with Stegosaurus. Yellow pour with white head. Skunky aroma and thin body. Tiny bite on the end. It was not that good.

Golden with creamy head with notes of mild citrus. Good balance between malt and hops, with some citrus notes. Smooth and very refreshing.

12 oz bottle. Clear golden beer with a white head. Aroma of bready malts. Flavor is bready malt and hops drying out to a lightly bitter finish. No skunk in the one I had. Primary component is the grassy hops. German character from start to finish. Fairly decent dortmunder. Refreshing and enjoyable.

I can’t really say I know why we ordered this beer. Two words can be used to describe this foul smelling, tasting, and looking garbage ... UGLY PISSWATER.

Very thick white head; loads of carbonation; translucent yellow-golden appearance; aroma of vomit (or something of the sort) and bread; thick lacing; very, very subtle sweetness; overall it’s just middle of the road: nothing exciting but not dissapointing whatsoever; the commercial description of it is right on (save for the "richly aromatic").
