It has a taste of medicine or fruit or anything else strange (I have tasted only 3 types yet) - a real "german tradition" beer only has to contain "Hopfen & Malz", nothing else. We have a "Reinheits-Gebot" (pureness requirement) in Germany per law for beer (showing that our politicians indeed know what they talk about on this matter), and I really can tell you: each mouthfull has double volume if I can trust the german "Reinheits-Gebot".
Hahaha. If the beer I was given at the Holstein Brewery in Hamburg a few
years ago is anything to go by, you are correct. That stuff was potent.
EVERY german beer has to contain only "Hopfen & Malz". Every additional chemicals are forbidden, by law. ;-)) So you can be sure the Holsten beer has brought you to a 100% "legal state". ;-))

I always wondered why so small an amount had such a devastating effect on me. It was also delicious, but I sure needed a nap back at the hotel before the night's festivities began. :-)
