Nice cistal clear yellow-golden beer with a foamy snow white head. The aroma is very pils like but has that extra touch of soft maltyness allong with a mild accent of smooth hops. The taste is light to medium boddied for the style and is well in ballance. You can detect hints of fresh crushed cereals, a nice minereal dryness and a mild bitterness of hops. A great refreshing thirst-killing beer.

Okay and typical german larger. Little bready and mineral like with ok hops. Light but not quite watery. Refreshing but wouldn’t buy again.

Drainpour. This taste really bad. So bad that I don’t even know how to describe it.

Krazy Karbonation going on here. Sweet floral aromas. Dry in the mouth with a bitter aftertaste. Not totally unpleasant but not outstanding either.

I’m a Stuttgart boy, so this can only be so good. Its so much better fresh in the fatherland, but I have to say I picked up a sixer recently and it was really good. It was obviously a fresh fun, because you could really taste all the dimensions.

Bottle. Poured amber color with a huge white frothy head that was mostly lasting and good lacing. Moderate hoppy aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium bitter flavor with a medium biiter finish of moderate duration. Drinkable average beer.

Pale gold straw colour with small white head. Mild hop aroma with hint of biscuit which follows through in the flavour.
