Received in a trade from ByTor2112. I think he must have made this stuff himself.

Pours from a foreign language laden .5L bottle with a fresheness date of 28.04.08. Deep golden with lots of huge bubbles heading northward. Stark white head of about one finger in size.

Aroma is sweet, almost malt liquor like. Decent hop aroma that has a spicy tone to it.

Actually tastes quite good. An immediete hop bitterness greets the drinker. Slightly sour, no sweetness, although the aroma would dictate otherwise. Slightly salty.

Very dry on the finish with a nice bitterness in the end as well. Light bodied. A crisp, refreshing, palate cleansing beer. Better than I expected. I really like the hop smack in this one. Havent had that kind of hoppiness in this type of beer before. Perfect for warm outdoor weather consumption.

Poured a straw yellow. Nice white head formed but dissipated to a film. I got this straight from Austria. Thanks to my boss Herbert.
Aroma-Spicy hops, smells like a lager.
Mouthfeel-Nice carbonation, medium body with a crisp hop bitterness. finishes clean. Tastes like a European macro but Frastanz makes some solid beers. This would be most refreshing on a hot day. Nothing fancy but a good representation of the style.
