Price: $2.49 (on special (of course))

Serving: 500ml

This Austrian beer is like a Catholic altar boy: pure, smooth and gives just enough head to stop you shaking it back to life. Also it contains ascorbic acid.

In the glass it's a very clear, pale yellow. The nose "just keeps on giving" according to my flatmate and accomplished brewmaster Stu. It's a sweet brew but lacks the fruity nose to make it enjoyable like a pale ale. The hops are added here for bitterness; not enough to make a real impact on the flavour which is decidedly malty throughout.

I couldn't shake the thought of gravy whilst drinking this. To be precise, it put me in mind of that sweet meaty stuff in the bottom of a roasting pan before it's made into gravy. The aftertaste seems to tingle that area of the tongue for some reason. To that end I reckon this is a top beer to have with a white meat roast like chicken, person or pork.

Final score:
