Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sweet malt and bitter hops. Good finish.

Mi aspettavo di più da questa osannata pils di Schloss Eggenberg: una lager senza troppe lodi, giusto un po’ di luppoletto che si distingue nel fondo, ma niente di unico.

330 ml bottle from SAQ, served cold in a tulip glass. BB 08. 2010 L922312.

App.: Clear light golden with a decent white meringue. Aroma: A fair bit of Saaz hops – grassy, peppery, slightly woodsy and floral, some definite biscuit malts other light malt aromas, pretty good Pils nose; the hop notes fade as the beers airs out and warms. Palate: Medium+ body and moderate effervescence with that smooth, pillowy Pils texture. Flav.: The hops are turned down slightly and become a little more citrusy (lemons and limes), still plenty of nice biscuit maltiness, as it warms, it starts to taste like a lemon cough drop...not good!, hints of fruity esters; dry with decent bitterness and more of that odd lemony note.

Like my performance in bed: starts off strong but fades fairly quickly.

Potentially a really great beer. Just why the Germans, of all people, continue to put their beers into green bottles, astounds me! Slight skunk on the nose, but this does disappear after 30 sec or so. After that, a slight minerally, hop presence. Beautiful golden colour, with a well formed white top. Taste is nice and malty, if a little light. palate is good, with nice carbonation. If it weren’t skunked, I could have a nice summer session with this. Go the BROWN BOTTLE GERMANY! For BEER’s SAKE!

(12 ounce bottle - Tumbler glass) Pours a clear golden color with little head and lace. Has a skunky aroma, i mean it is really skunky. Taste is bland malt and hop balance. Light body.

Nice clean by the numbers pilsener, pour is light amber with white head. Aroma is a bit subdued but the saaz hops are there. Flavour is clean sweet malts with a nice mild bittering finish. Certainly one of the better Pilsener’s out there.

Seca, com lúpulo por tudos os lados. Coloração amarelo claro. Espuma branca, densa e presente. Cheiro lupulado, suave. Refrescante com um bom amargor. Como dito, seca e frisante. Suavemente frutada. Boa

Bottle. Pale golden pour with a short white head that doesn’t last long. Aroma is light, grainy and malty with hints of lemon and caramel. Flavour is about the same but stronger, plus there is a bit of extra citrusy hops. Good, solid body for the style with a dry mouthfeel and medium to long finish. Good pilsener and quite sessionable.

Big time skumky aroma, pours a clear straw yellow with minimal white head. Taste is a crisp malt taste. Slight hop bitterness in the aftertaste.
