50cl bottle poured into a mug. Pours a nice golden color with ample frothy white head. Smells like apples. A balanced taste that has some fruit notes. Hops in the finish. Pretty smooth. Better than other pilseners offered by Schwaben Bräu.

Bottle, 5.5%. Weak buttery aroma, spicy, but buttery nonetheless. Almost clear golden colour. Small white head. The flavour also has a little butter, perhaps some plastic.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts strong and malty, modest spicy, grasy-metallically finish. Good Weihnachtsbier!

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Light grassy and malt aroma. Subdued malt sweetness and a light bitterness in the initial flavour impression. Light acidic and bitter touch. Dry bitter finish with a light malt base, yet enought to counterbalance the bitterness.
