.5L emptied into a Pokal.

A: Pours a deep, clear copper with a fluffy 1-finger bone white head which receeds to a thin ring. Very little lacing.

S: Sweet barley malts, caramel, perhaps molasses, light hops.

M: Medium bodied with good carbonation.

T: Toasted barley malts, followed by just the right amount of Saaz hops. Very well balanced. Crisp finish with a dry, slightly honey sweet, aftertaste.

D: This is very drinkable, interesting to say the least for a beer flying under the 'Bio' label. Something I will be purchasing more of.

Bottle or drafted, this is one of the better Austrian beers out there.

Color is a honey hued straw deeper than expected gold. Bellows of white fluffy head build up and slowly disintegrate after a hearty pour. Aroma is a bit grassy, almost white peppery, tingly. Flavor is relatively bitty in comparison to the competition. It has a nice grassy bitterness to it that goes great with an open faced smoked ham and cheese sandwich. It has a bready malt background that is a bit overbearing in comparison to the crispness of the hops. Easy drinking and far from boring.

Pours out to a hazy copper amber with a small head that subsides quickly, with bubbles lining the sides.

The smell is sweet, of honey and maybe a little apricot.

Wow. The taste is rather malty with just enough touch of bitterness to balance it out. Even though this is a lager, this tastes a bit more like an ale, but it does have that hops that ring throughout the taste.

Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side, and it's quite carbonated, like most lagers. The finish isn't the cleanest, with a bit of bready taste left in the mouth (which is a nice touch, in my opinion).

This one is among one of the more drinkable beers. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to try this out again.
