Can, alc. 5.2% BB 04/2009. "Die Echte Halbe Märzenbier". Golden color, small white head. Grassy, aspargus aroma, a bit sweet too. Grassy, harsh flavor, watery, a bit sweet malty. Cheap Supermarket bulk.

Golden colored with medium sized yellow head. Fruity, bready and cardboardy aroma with somehow floral hops. Medium bodied, soft palated. Flavor is pretty much the same: bread and cardboard, some lemony fruits too. Aftertaste is lemony still. Well, nothing wrong, but nothing special.

A clear golden colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma of malt, grains, fruits and little hops. The taste of bitter fruit with hop and straw. The aftertaste stays long and is some bitter.

Deep golden hazy with a large white head. Fresh and hoppy aroma and flavour with fine sweetness. Rather malty. One of my special beers I have it in the keller a lot.

bottle - golden orange beer with white head, quickly diminishing. Metallic aroma, not much of hops. Flavour is sweet and malty. Not bitter.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a huge and off-white head. Mild earthy and vague breadish malt aroma. Mild sweetness, vague metallic note. A more fruity flavour appears after the initial impression, lasting throughout. Smooth yet with a decent bitterness and light cornish note.
