Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Bottle. Pours a bright yellow with bubbly white head, medium lacing, surprising for such a light beer. Very sweet cereal grains and sweet malt in the nose, almost has a white wine underpinning to it. Toasty malts start the flavor, rounds out with a white grape sweetness, finishes smooth and dry. Has a touch of body for a lighter color beer, eas
Poures from a 500ml bottle into an official Reissdorf Klsch jumbo cylinder glass, one of my favorite glasses. It is a crystal clear straw color with magnificent tiny bubbles rapidly floating to the top and a nice foamy white head that leaves some really nice lacing. Smell is pretty quaint, a bit of breadiness with very subtle hop. Taste is crisp
Light pale straw color; Light to medium body; Aroma of malt, citrus, & floral; Flavor of slight sweet malt, some hops, citrus, and light fruit; Finish is crisp; Overall, very refreshing.
