<b>1/03/2008</b>: Klosterbräu Mallersdorf Vollbier Hell has a pale golden yellow color with a moderate amount of carbnation and tons of sediment suspended in it. The white head is initially very large and slowly fades aways and settles into a lasting, pillowy crown. The aroma is modestly sweet and has a nice, sweet floral quality like honey comb. The flavor is also floral and perfume-like (almost, but not quite soapy) with some sweet, smooth Pils-like maltiness underneath. The flavor is quite clean and there is a whisp of crisp hop bitterness in the finish that balances this beer well. The palate is quite soft and smooth. This medium-light-bodied beer just glides down so nicely. <br /><br /> <i>0.5 L flip-top bottle (alc. 5% vol. / Tag 25. Monat 2) from Tmoney99. Thank you very much for this rare bottle, Tom. I really appreciate it! Rating #8 for this beer...</i><br />

(Bottle 0,5l) This beer is brewed by sister Doris in the convent of mallersdorf. Its the only beer in Germany that is brewed by a nun! This beer is as simple as the monastery life. But in this simplicity lies the secret of this great beer. Smooth, balanced, honest.

On tap at the brewery tavern and bottled: Golden coloured, visible carbonation, persistent white head; clean sweet-malty nose with a detectable bitter-hoppy background; medium bodied, moderate to robust sweet-bitter flavour, smooth MF; the hops become more evident in the clean bitter-sweet- malty finish with a touch of barley in the aftertaste. Nuns brew better......

(draught at the brewery tap nearby the monastery) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized and persistent foamy white head. Sweet, slightly grainy pale malty nose with a honey-fruity tinge and a mild herbal hoppy blend. Moderately sweet flavour with a light but balancing bitterness. Grainy malty taste with a whiff of honey; light to medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel; medium-dry, sweet and slightly bitter finish with grainy malt and a soft hop character. Clean and balanced brew.
