| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2007 A friendly elderly lady tended bar at this old fashioned Franconian brewpub and got me a bottle of this beer. Blonde, hazy. Malty, buttery aroma. Barnyard smell. Malty, but also a firm hopbitter flavor, in which the rural character is clearly noticed. Butter, even a hint of diacetyl. Very interesting lager: how long before this relic of old times fades away? pivnizub (5077), Bochum, Porúří, Germany

A decent brew, the archetypal Brotzeit drink............. MoritzF (4995), Bochum, Germany
