.66 liter bottle, labeled "Original Import." Pours bright golden color, healthy column of bubbles, standard white head with no lace. Can’t detect much smell, there was a whiff of oxidation upon opening, but it’s gone right away. Taste is upfront with nice, spicy noble hops. Malts stay toward the back, just light bread, if there’s adjunct, it’s not obvious. A light European lager that I caught while still fresh. At $2.50 for a big bottle, it’s worth checking out.

Dec 27, 2009 Bottle.
Medium gold color and not much of a head. Malty aroma, some grain and a bit of grassy hop. Rather dead. Rich malty flavor, a bit of fruit and a touch of piney hops. Relatively sweet and rich. Decent but not much character really. A bit of grassy hops and bitterness at the finish. OK, but I think it was surely better on tap in Vienna. Not nuanced enough for a helles, but not hoppy enough for a pils.

Nov 8, 2009 660ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Malty aroma with corn and a hint of lime. Malty and slightly sweet taste with grain, corn and a faint hint of honey. Drinkable, but not very exciting.

Nov 2, 2009 Bottle, labeled Original Import, 5.4%. It pours a slighlty chill hazed orange-golden body under a minimal layer of off-white bubbles. Fruit-syrupy sweetish nose with grains. Sweet flavor too, too sweet I think, with grains as a backbone, and a little bitterness lingering. The bitterness is overpowered by the sweetness all the way though. Medium body and appropriated carbonation considering the sugary feeling. Far from impressing, but not bad. Lacks on quenching qualities I think. 091102

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle. A pale yellow body with a thin fizzy white head, medium carbonation , no lacing. Aroma is light with a little corn, honey and some citrus hops . Flavor is lightly sweet with a hint of lemony hops , quite balanced , light body , thin mouthfeel ,with a slightly dry short lemony finish . Quite sessionable , not too bad ,but I don’t think I would buy this again.
