I'm cheating a little, since I didn't have another German beer lying around. The label reflects my anticipation and excitement about the film fest, though, so good enough. It's actually a beer from Alicante, in spite of the pseudo-Germanicness of the name. A red ale that swears on bitterness, a pick-me-up and eye-opener on a gray and dreary day...we'll see.

The color is impressive, being a nice, dark red, with just a little touch of brown. The head is light colored and unaggressive. There's a sweetness to the smell, but I'm still surprised by how sweet the taste is, after all the posturing about the hops. It really is a mellower, more rounded flavor, almost peach-like I think, than I was expecting. As I drink, I keep analyzing the taste, looking for that little hint of sharpness, but it stays sweet and kind of giggly feeling. Not quite what I associate with metal, but the over-the-topness leaves you with the feeling that anything can happen.
