Bottled. Hazy/murky appearance due to its unfiltered nature. Mainly malt aroma but with pleasing citrus/hop undertones. Sharpness slightly overwhelms malt characteristics, though not to the detriment of the hoppy finish. Lighter than you’d expect from 5.6%. Overall, a very good hand-crafted lager from an underrated brewery.

Oct 7, 2008 previously tested on German BTO 10/2006: Ich finde die Flasche ganz gelungen, mutet sehr nostalgisch an. Schaum gibt es nicht so viel, aber insgesamt sieht das Bier schön aus, trüb und leichter Stich richtung Leucht-Orange. Schmeckt genauso, wie ich es erwartet habe, typisch für ein Naturtrübes, leicht hefig und ziemlich fruchtig: besonders meine ich eine Birnennote erschmecken zu könne. Prima, werde versuchen, das restliche Sortiment auch noch zu besorgen.

Aug 2, 2008 <i>Bottle, 10 months past bbe.</i> Murky orange yellow, firm pale head. Nose is lightly honeyish, mineral, little hops, overall quite neutral. Sweetish malty flavor, honey, little mineral finish. Medium bodied, strongly carbonated palate. Even when this old it’s alright, and probably a lot better fresh.
