Practically no aroma. Taste is a full mouthful of sweetness, but not overwhelming or too sweet. Almost tastes exactly like biting into a delicious apple. The only giveaway that it’s not is a slightly sweet aftertaste. At which point it switches over to kind of tasting like a nice dry apple cider. Hmmm, I wonder if that’s why they call it cider…

Faint sweet aroma. Flavor is a mouthful combination of carbonation, a slight flower-like sweetness. Not a real strong flavor, but fades out smoothly.

No aroma- the thick frothy head probably acts like an odor barrier. Maybe faint sweet hints of smell. Hits palette pretty evenly without a real strong flavor other than a moderate malt taste. Finishes creamy smooth then a dark malt taste sneaks in and proceeds to fade out slowly, then left with no taste.
Had on tap in Irish pub in Belgium. Seemed to have proper/good nitro dispensing for a nice pour, but no carbonation.

Slightly sweet smell. Sharp hop bite that gradually fades away. Leaves a slight hop taste that’s very raw and fresh tasting.

Very faint lager smell. Nice full malty flavor with a slight sweetness. Finishes with a full malty flavor that’s not too strong, then fades out slowly. I think the Fruh Koelsch was better slightly.

Slight lager aroma. Mildly sweet with a hint of grain taste. Finishes with a slight sweetness that leaves the mouth watering. Drank in the bar of the brewery on a freshly routered out bar. Beer served from gravity fed barrels sitting on the bar.

Sweet smell, almost rotten. Hits taste buds quick with a nice fresh hop taste. Has an aftertaste that’s a mix of strong hops and moderate maltiness. A bit stronger in flavor (both hops and malt) than any of the other alts.

Mild sweet smell. Pointed, but mild hop flavor that quickly kills the flavor and leaves a dry, raw, slightly grainy taste. Very nice aftertaste with no hop flavor just a nice fresh grainy mild taste.

Slightly sweet aroma with hints of hop smell. Good fresh hop taste, medium strong. Finishes with a good hop aftertaste. Very good fresh, raw, grainy taste (as I had it straight from the brewery…). Gravity served from big barrels on the bar. Every now and then you hear a low rumble as a barrel goes rolling by either on its way to or from the bar.

Sweet smell, actually smelled a bit like milk. Then has that typical Belgian yeast flavor, with hints of IPA-like hops in the background. Finishes with a light grain flavor. So all in all, kind of like a mild “milk IPA”…
