tap, pours gold with a thin white head. Aroma is yeasty with lots of strong malty notes. Full bodied malty body with a peppery hop finish with alcohol notes.

Golden in color. Flavor is cloyingly sweet. Very malty. Not very bitter. I’m not a fan.

At Tap @ Rattle and HUMJ, NYC. This pours a pretty clear body - surprising for the alcohol content. Aroma is light. Taste is good, great smoothness considering the alc. A great heller.

On tap @ Rattle n Hum, NYC. Very surprised at such low quantity of raters on this. Poured light with nitro looking white head. Tastes very similar to Boddingtons Pub Ale, with a musty but smooth bready mouth. I’m dumbfounded that this is 8.5%, really.

On tap at the Old German Beer Hall ,MilwaukeeSparkling golden color,absolutely gorgeous, Aroma of slightly sweet melanoidin and German malt alcohol evident, fainter then I thought it would be, didn’t help that there was a sweet cigar in the area, flavor was a moderartely almost syrup sweet malt, with just a hint of apple or pear fruitiness, sweetness was almost honey -like,palate was a little on the thick side,nice,big sweet alcohol finish. A liter of this finished me off for the night. a decent sipper that will last you for a while

Golden in color with nice white head. Bready/yeasty malt aroma. Flavor is spicy mouthfeel like a big Helles. Finish is not so clean as typical German lager. On tap at Samalitas in NYC

Draught, Hofbrauhaus Miami Beach
Bright copper colour. Huge, fresh grain aroma with light caramel and freshly cracked malts. My goodness that is beautiful. Very caramelly, with light toast and a herbal hop underpinning. Beautifully balanced, with a firm alcoholic kick at the back.
