Lightly brown, creamy head. Aroma of wine, orange (peel), cara-malts, some stronger malts, ... quite fresh with a warming touch. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour. The flavour is as the aroma quite refreshing, but it still has a warm mouthfeel.

OK dunkel, nicely burnt flavour, some decent malt on aroma. Some butter, but works better in the dunkel than in the helles. Still, it’s not very good though JoeinUccle (911), Brussels, Belgium

Red in the middle and tinted orange at the edges, bit of beige froth. Looks like iced tea. Thin, sweetish nose with vague caramel and fruit notes.
