Mild, with a slight buttery taste that some beers have.

Hazy dark orange color with beige head. Aroma has bready malt with earthy hops in the background. Taste follows with bread, bread crust, a bit of burnt caramel and light bitterness on the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Overall it's a decent beer but lacks some character.

Pours a dark gold coloration with visible carbonation and a medium, fizzy head. Smells of light caramel malt with a stronger grainy note. Taste follows the nose, being dominated by a grainy note with faint caramel malt and a light hoppy note of grass and herbs. Finishes with a light/medium, slightly herbaceous bitterness, medium body and carbonation.
This is nothing special, but a very nice, easy drinking Kellerbier with a mild flavour profile and good balance. Pleasant and refreshing.

Brewed in Germany, bought in Madrid...
Never had this brewery´s beer before.
Not sure about serving temperature, so having chilled from fridge...
Very good head level, like an IPA or a Belgian dubbel. Deep reddish color.
Aroma is maltey and chocolatey, not a huge fan.
Tastes a bit like toffee-infused chocolate milk. Yes, it does...
Quite unique though not really something I enjoy, it´s neither refreshing or has a strong enough taste to be worth buying again. Much prefer an IPA, Belgian Tripel or refreshing hoppy lager.

Pours a pretty orangish amber with small head that doesnt leave any real lacing. Nose is grainy with just a feint hint of hops. Taste is also quite grainy, but the hop bitterness is more present. Really a basic thirst quencher.

Light orange colour with haze and a decent head that disappears quite quickly. Smell of caramel, yeast and malt. Based on the smell, I expected a sweet malty profile in the taste, but it is actually more hoppy. Flavours of pine and dough are prevalent here, with some accents of toffee. Taste is mild, as intended. Smooth, refreshing and balanced, a nice session beer.

From Hipercor. In Bavaria glass. After diner, playing Snail Bob 2 with daughter. The sips begins very refreshing and with noticeable sweetness and ends with a noticeable herbal bitterness. Lefts you thirsty, wanting more. The aspect is pretty, witha a good initial foam that dessapears quickly and a nice caramel colour

Pours a cloudy, saturated yellow-orange color with a decent sized, froth head.
Smells of white bread dough, pleasantly accompanied by a subdued toffee quality, wrapped up by leafy, faint hops, which still add a subtle punch to the nose.
Provides a soft mouthfeel, although the beer maintains a vivid carbonation, with a light bodied refreshment.
Tastes of slighty sourish peas, together with a noble presence of leafy, wet hops, being on par with dough malts. Finishes with more profound toffee malts, revealing hints of caramel, getting coated up by a nice, clean bitterness.
Perfectly balanced Lager, finding its most convincing feature in not providing too much edges, but showcasing a well composed, light bodied beer with a nice hop accent among an enjoyable maltiness.
