500ml bottle. A bright clear golden color pour with a soapy whiote head, high carbonation, spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet honey malt,and grassy floral hops. Flavor is nice and hoppy , mostly floral,some grassy aromas, nice level of bitterness, clean crisp flavor and mouthfeel, nice hoppy finish , lightly sweet, a very good drinker and tasty, quite sessionable , would buy this again.

Bottle from the international pack from Stephs sister. Almost clear golden with medium and creamy white head. Aroma is slightly corny with lager yeast and dry. Flavor is clean with a slight grain and a good amount of lager yeast. Medium and creamy with active carbonation. Very good with slight lemon finish.

Light golden color with an oily white head. Tastes slighty grapey, some butter and cheese. Decent weight. Medium finish. Nose is like juice.

Usually sink bottles of this in the German pubs in Hahndorf. Using a glass it pours see through gold, not much head, dissipates after a few minutes. Aroma of hops, some skunk but thankfully not too much. Great crisp hop taste, with a touch of cinnamon, nice clean dry finish. Perfect textbook German lager, nothing crazily good about it but it’s totally consistent. Great session beer. Excellent.

Drank from the tap in Munich. This is good beer, with a crisp smell and nice head. It tastes great and gotta love the atmosphere.

Cloudy yellow beer with a thin white head. Aroma of yeast, somewhat skunky with a hint of hops. Light flavor of malts, skunky undertone and laced with a hint of hops. Frothy finish. Mild carbonation. Slightly more substantial than an American macro.

draft at redlight redlight

pours awesome, tastes awesome... a pleasure to sell as a bartender - drink this in a liter mug... for realz. awesome classic lager. it’s not like mind blowing or anything - but you know, neither was The Last Crusade - and you’d watch that shit over and over.

god, how awful was that last Indiana Jones movie... am i right?
