Clear, amber-hued, slim white head.In the nose: Malt. Grain, cereal. Sweet.
In the mouth: Clean, balanced, sweet, malty. I said half those words already, didn't I? On the fruity side. And downright tasty. Not much more to say than that. Fairly straightforward. I'd drink it again. And maybe again.
This beer has been referred to as a "land bier", but I don't know what that is. It has also been called a kellerbier, or zwickel, and I do know what they are. Those are unfiltered lagers, as this one appears to be, somewhat. I've found out that "land bier" translates from "country" or "house" lager, and can range from light golden to dark brown. But there isn't a great deal of consensus currently about what they are, and the phrase seems to be catch-all used for marketing. The name seems to amorphously apply itself to more than those above-named categories, stretching out to Munich dunkels, as well.
Here's something ripped from their website: The beer presents itself in a palely amber colour with orange reflections and a mellow soft head. The complex flavour is firstly dominated by caramel with a slight undertone of honey, roasted almonds, and fresh fruity flavours that bring tastes of green apple to mind. Grevensteiner Original appears very crisp and elegant despite its round and malty-sweet body. A smooth toasty character paired with nutty flavours opens a distinctive finale, which unfolds impressions of butterscotch.
I don't know if the above was written in the Deutsch language and translated into English, or written in English by a German, but I do enjoy reading such stuff.
