May 23, 2005 Had this at the tasting at the Corkscrew in Urbana. Overall I was pretty surprised with this. I have become not that big of a fan of this style and most german beers but this was pretty good. Nice nose full of malts mostly with some nuts. THe taste was just about the same with just a bit of wheat. Overall quite good, easily drinkable and pleasant.

May 9, 2005 Gravity at the Swan and Rushes annual German Beer Fest, Leicester. Barky, ashy, leathery aroma. Greasy mouthfeel - quite flat. Metally malt flavour; slightly spicy but generally plain. Rather dull Keller.

Apr 2, 2005 Grainy, biscuity malts and herbal hops in the nose. Opaque flat tan with no head. Likely should be served in earthenware or ceramic steins. Herbal grassy hop flavours with moderate bitterness but not a lot of malt character. Crisp and dry with strong carbonation that is a mite harsh on the tongue. Bottle sampled with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere at the Sunset Grill in Boston.

Mar 30, 2005 Shining bright gold. Nose malty, sweet, some hops. Nice flavor, punchy and fruity up front, grass and a mite earthy, vaguely caramel in the end. Nice hoppiness at the end, good bite. A mite overly subtle, but reasonably tasty.

Mar 29, 2005 Updated: May 25, 2006Funky, dusty earth gets quickly acquainted with the prevalent, quite dry yeast and grassy hops...Oranges swim through the tired body as dust reappears in the back...Not expressive enough for my tastes, a bit chaotic too...
The gravity cask version at the brewery was slightly better with its earthy and grassy hop flavors mingling with caramel sweetness, but the dry, mineral water finish and aqueous feel were detracting from the pleasure to be had. There are much better examples around Franconia.

Mar 29, 2005 Bottle at the Sunset grill. Nice brownish muddy colour. Malty aroma is biscuity, earthy and an okay match for the grassy hops. More of the same is uncovered in mouth, this is a bit limited in range, mostly cookieness, grassiness and dry earthiness. Well made, but simple and not very interesting. Pretty crisp bodied through its high carbonation, but I always expect more yeast character and complexity from unfiltered lagers.

Feb 28, 2005 A nice looking brew, with a good, dark golden color and large white head. Nose is creamy, malty, and sweet in a nice combination. Flavor also has some creaminess, a little hops character and a very refreshing malt character. A very enjoyable session beer.
