0.5l flip-top bottle in bavarian beer set from marktkauf. pours an opaque murky pale amber with a dense head. aroma of grass, spicy malts. flavour of grassy hops, bread, citrus zest. straightforward, but very drinkable.
0.5 l bottle from local ’Dursty’, best before July 2017. Hazy, bronze with a medium large, very dense, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, slightly malty aroma of caramel, some honey and hints of pear. Sweetish, slightly malty and minimally fruity taste of caramel, honey, some nuts and a touch of pear, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly spicy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!
Aroma is corn, wheat, malt, yeast, sweet, slightly metallic. Appearance is dark amber, white head, pretty hazy. Taste is initially sweet corn that dives into metallic quickly, maybe earthy hops, very lagery, but not offensively so. Mouthfeel is light to medium body, light crisp carbonation but not spritzy, with a sweet corn and earthy hops aftertaste. Overall, it’s pretty boring but definitely drinkable.
Dark golden to amber in color. Moderate, but stable off-white head. Sweet aromas, with grains, caramel, lightly toasted rye, and hint of herbal hops. Toasted to caramel malt flavors. Whole grain bread seems to come to mind. Easy to drink liquid bread. 2/13
Along with Yves at his home golden blond colored body with a white head and a spicy hop aroma a spicy herby hops bitter sweet taste with a bitter finish
Shared with wim at my home. Clear blond colored beer with small white head and no carbonation. Herby aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is sweet fruited slightly bitter.
This bottled brew from a restaurant poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a very softly carbonated semi-hazy dark orange brown colored body and a poor lacing. The mild aroma was floral and vinegar. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The earthy flavor contained notes of hops. A horrible one that I would rather not drink again. This brew does not taste like it is bad, but it certainly is not a good beer.
Bottled 500ml. -Darker golden coloured, medium sized creamy white head, dry bready nose. Malty, bready, light grainy and hay with notes of caramel and rather dry finish.
Bottle from a bottle shop in Germany. Malty smell with pale bread. Similar taste. Nice and clean.
Bottle @ home. Unclear amber body with a medium white head. Hay, grainy, malt, light hoppy, bready notes. I like it.
Pours a clean amber color with a froth, big head.
Smells of straw, old leaves and white bread malts, which got a nice sweetness to them.
Drinks very refreshing, with a bubbly carbonation among a light bodied beer.
Drinks utmost smooth with a slowly evolving straw quality coming up from the softness of the beer. Straw gets enriched by a pleasantly dry, grassy hoppiness with more and more prominent toffee malts.
Turns a tad too sweet during the finish, overwhelming the hops by overly prominent malts. Apart from that the mouthfeel in this turns out to be awesome.
0,5 l Bügelflasche. Aroma: Toffee, dunkle Schokolade. Erscheinung: Orangerotes, trübes Bier, cremeweißer, flacher Schaum. Geschmack: süßlich, Marzipan, leicht säuerlich. Nachgeschmack: leicht bitter. Gesamt: sehr ungewöhnlich, unter einen Zwickl verstehe ich etwas anderes.
Drank from a large bottle poured into a pint glass, thank you Björn! Delicious!
Bottle @ home. Hazy yellowish to orange brown color, medium sized white head that lasts for quite a while. Smell and taste malts, some bitter, hay, some grains. Suitable body and carbonation. Quite nice.
Draft @ Bolero, Bamberg. Pours a dark golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty grainy aroma with weak grassy yeasty hints. Fruity malty grainy grassy flavor. Has a fruity malty grainy weak hoppy finish.
Bottle from the Karstadt in Nuremberg. Deep amber-orange color, cloudy, with a fine, pillowy head. Malty, fruity nose, apricot and orange, bread, some dough. Rich, fruity malt flavor, estery, bread to biscuits. Slightly peppery finish. Low carbonation and medium to full body. Fresh and tasty, and very fruity. Quite enjoyable.

50 cl bottle. Cloudy orange colour.Malty , bread and a bit of honey. Not bad.
Lots of honey on a grassy and malty base. Watery and unsatisfactory finish. Quite different.
Looks like fresh apple juice, a pale, hazy. ocher colour with a off-white head.
aromas of hops, malt and yeast. Flavour is like the aroma. Soft carbonation. Overall very thin.
Bottle, 5.4%. Slightly golden with medium off-white head. Aroma is malt, grainy, hop, little grass, hop, fruit and a little card board. Flavour is malt, fruit, grainy, hop, little grass, medium sweet, little straw and a little bitter.
Deep brown cloudy pour. The aroma is quite sweet and bready. Has a sweet whole wheat crust aroma as well as a bit of yeastiness. Has a bit of toffee and a little bit of almost raisiny character. Pretty tasty.
16.9 oz bottle pours hazy brown with a off white head. Aroma and taste is malts, dough and grass.
Rated on 01-06-2013 (Flip-top bottle) This beer pours a medium sized semi-fizzy head with a short retention, pale yellow hazy body, very fizzy carbonation, and spotty amounts of lacing. The aroma is bready malt, grainy, grassy, sweet, and earthy. The flavor is bready malt, earthy, grassy, grainy, and sweet. The mouthfeel is smooth and this beer is light-medium bodied. Overall, this is rather bland tasting with little character. It did not leave me wanting this beer in the future.
500ml bottle. Aroma is bread, maly. Appearance is dark, cloudy orange with a light, brown-ish head. Taste is light sour and light sweet. A bread-like mouth feel. Good.
Top note resembles a good German beer with good German hops. Amber appearance. Slight head. Middle palate with more body than Kardashian. Finish with that subconscious sourness you find in a Guiness but can’t put your finger on. Poured from the flip top. I’ll be buying this again.

Poured from bottle into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a murky amber orange color with a big white head. The head has a decent level of retention leaving almost no lace on the sides of the glass once it fades away.
Smell – The aroma of the beer is heaviest of a doughy smell with tons of yeasty smells mixed within. Along with these smells are some light grainy smells as well as a little bit of honey and tea.
Taste – The taste begins with a bready and doughy taste with some sweeter flavors of caramel and a little bit of a orange citrus flavor. As the flavor advances a strong yeasty flavor comes to the tongue along with a little bit of a grainy and light honey taste. Toward the very end, small hints of an earthy hop joins the flavor, leaving a nice malty but smother flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is average for a brew of 5.4 % with a carbonation level that is average as well. Both the body and the carbonation are great for the brews flavors and make for a very nice easy drinker.
Overall – A nice easy drinking but flavorful and smooth tasting brew. Quite enjoyable.
Canned, from a convenience store in China. Not sure about the style. Nice flowery aroma on a dirty yellow beer with a respectable white head. Very malty flavour, full of mainstream honey. Finish is kind of bitter (more of a Pilsener-grassy bitter) and nutty. Not too bad.
