TheGent (66), , Massachusetts, USA Jul 11, 2008 I would have to say this is the most beerish beer I have ever had. Everything from the light yellow color, the the dry mouth feel to the malty yeasty taste is what I would try to tell a person about if they had never heard of beer before. While i was not a big fan of this I can respect such a traditional German beer.
KimJohansen (5208), Copenhagen V, Denmark Dec 24, 2008 Cloudy golden with medium white head. Sweet maltyh aroma with notes of caramel and fruits. Swee flavourwith malty and fruity notes. Trev (629), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Dec 15, 2008 pours a gold colour with a tight white head. Lighter than I expected.
Aroma is grassy, lemony hop and some yeastiness, more akin to the ur-pils that I tried than most alts I thought.
Flavour was grainy and light, though very drinkable. Slightly tart at times. g2bfry (39), San Diego, California, USA Dec 5, 2008 Salty cracker malt aroma. White head with some nice lace sticking firmly to the glass. A golden yellow color, different than the typical dark malt altbiers. Light body, just a little carbonation. Slightly sweet taste, honey and white breads. Some yeast flavors that persist on the palate. crazyvin (1132), New York, USA Dec 5, 2008 A disappointment i must say, seemed to be a little on the corn-like pale lager side for me. Some subtle bread malt notes and a slight sweetness but corn was the main player. TheJollyOne (70), Kofu, Japan Nov 29, 2008 Beautiful large white head over a cloudy, golden straw colored, body. Nice grassy hop aroma, cooked white bread and forest pine. I was surprised at the taste, excellent balance of Grass, herbs, and grapefruit citrus. Very tasty! Started sour on the tongue and then moved to bitter, all hop. Almost creamy on the palate, full and foamy, went down beautifully. I was very surprised by this unassuming beer. This would be an amazing session beer, or one to savor.
