Pours a faintly hazed pale straw color with a small frothy white head and not much lacing. The aroma has some bready and musty ale-like qualities in the aroma. The taste starts with a bit of doughy sweetness, some huskiness without astringency, then a bit of wateriness mid-palate and a lightly floral finish with some clove like suggestions. The mouthfeel is very soft and subtle in every aspect. Easy drinking.

I’m not sure if I’ve had any others of this style for comparison, but I enjoyed this quite a bit and I’m rather suprised at what I consider a low average it has here. Cool swing-top bottle, poured a cloudy straw color with a white head that lasted the entire beer. Scent was malty with some light spices to it. The only problem with the flavor was that it was a bit too thin, so I docked it here and with the palate score, but it’s nicely rounded and balanced. Overall, as I stated, this is quite nice.

This was a beer I once classified as "my favorite" back when I was being introduced to imported beer in the mid 1980s. Needless to say I've found better in the years since, but it's still pretty good.

Pale golden in color with a smallish white head. Aroma is lightly skunked more often than not but a decent malty lager aroma is hiding beneath. Very malty up front with a hint of yeastiness and some light bittering hops. Hops come out more in the aftertaste adding a nice bite to the malt.

Aroma of lemon drop candy and some soap. A lighter red and gold that is a little cloudy. The body is topped by a very thin head. The taste is refreshing and light. It has a little bit of grass and a finish of dirt. The finish is also soapy. An ok lager, but nothing to get excited about.

Got this in a 1pint flip-top bottle says "bavarian speciality" on the label'. Well the appearance is nice but not unusual for a lager nice head deep yellow coloured beer. I liked the aroma of this beer,..very malty with a barley scent to ( ive been in a whisky distillery and this smelt like the malted barley stage)...liked it a lot. Nice dry malty taste though less than I had expected given the aroma..nice crisp on the palate. Feels good and smooth in the mouth leaving some small hoppy after taste on back of tongue..good. Nice drinkable lager beer..would have again.
