A: Orange-yellow, nothing out of the ordinary.

S: Little bit of hops in the smell that is lost in the sweetness of the taste.

T: Tastes darker than it appears. Malty and syrupy, Bavarian bock-like, but lighter. Little bit sour like a blood orange.

M: Smooth, appropriate carbonation, consistency throughout taste and aftertaste.

O: Interesting enough. Not really worth hunting down, but definitely solid.

Glass: Ayinger willi glass

Kapsreiter is a new brewery to me (apparently part of the same parent company that produces Grieskirchner), but the success of their Landbier would have me looking for other beers they brew, if there were any. The Kapsreiter Landbier is a malty, bready, and surprisingly hoppy German-style lager, with robust flavor that's pleasant any time of the year, though I could more easily see myself drinking this again in any season but winter.

Pours a very tall (>3cm) head of fairly clean, white foam, composed of small to medium-sized bubbles, creating a clean, dense froth. Retention is above average, lasting over two minutes until it has fully declined to a thin cap atop the body. The head leaves substantial lacing in its wake in a variety of waves and dots, which is renewed with each sip. The body is a semi-hazy (20-30% opaque) golden orange color, with light bringing out pale orange-yellow tones. Carbonation is visible, though it is sparse and somewhat sluggish.

Aroma is malty and bread-dough like, with more modest yeast, grassy/vegetative European hops, and slight grape ester. Pleasing, but slightly bland, this would probably be quite good when fresh and at its most aromatically expressive.

Front of the palate detects modest malt sweetness with strong bread and bread dough/yeast components and slight grape ester character. Mid-palate is deeply bready and doughy with modest sweetness, but well-balanced by mildly bitter and grassy European hops and a slightly grape ester undertone. Back of palate increases the European hop bitterness, pushing it to the forefront while the malty, bready, and grape-like esters move to the back. Aftertaste is mildly bitter and spicy from European-style hops, with bread dough and grassy/vegetative undertones.

Beer is medium-light in body with carbonation of medium intensity, leading to a mouthfeel that softly foams up as it moves across the palate, never feeling fizzy or harsh. Closes fairly dry, with little residual stickiness lingering on the palate or lips.

16.9 oz bottle, production number 02 11 0104, poured into a nonic pint glass.

A- Pours a pale straw yellow, topped with an inch of creamy white head, good retention, leaves some spotty lacing.

S- Sweet grain aroma, floral hops, smells nice and refreshing.

T- More sweet, bready grain, has some earthy, floral, mildly spicy hop bitterness in the finish, flavors are well-rounded.

M- Light-bodied, smooth feel, slightly dry finish.

O- A nice, very drinkable lager. Just know that landbier means "country beer" and they're just light, easy-drinking beers, this beer is not really meant to fit into any style, and isn't really a pilsner either so don't expect one, it's a really enjoyable beer though.
