Maybe my favorite Pilsener, maybe not. A style that doesn’t hit with a home run, but this one subsided all grassy malts / hoppiness and only slightly came out grassy hoppy. For that much, kudos. Not bad at all. Only very light grassy hops with almost a kolsch base. Very nicely balanced. Enjoyable.

A bit skunky nose but also hoppy with a golden body and a little rocky head. It is nice to drink it but doesn’t knock you out of your shoes, more average but well balanced Pilsener

Nice fairly thick fluffy head. Straw body. Clean and fresh aroma with a whiff of typical pilsener hops. Flavor is light peppery hops. Fairly dry although I thought I might have detected esters.

Decent body. Clean nose. Clean crisp hop flavor with just enough malt to balance.

Thinner malts, and a very nice peppery hop. Well carbonated with a dry, crisp finish.

Draught at Uusi Apteekki, Turku. Golden color with creamy head. Sweetish, very malty aroma with some herbal hops. Fairly bitter and strongly malty flavor with grapefruity and herbal hops, perhaps a buttery note too. Strongly carbonated. Used to be a personal favourite but wasn’t so tasty this time.

NOt too interesting, very bitter. It was on a 5 litres barrel. And lasted for days. But it had some German touch.
