Clear golden colour with a moderate white head. Fresh hoppy aroma with a bit of anise and malt. Crisp mouthfeel. Nice hop bitterness with good malt backbone to balance it. Lingering dry finish. A quality quencher.

Can, 50 cl. Clear straw golden, medium head that quickly dissipates. Bready maltiness with some hints of hops. Medium bodied, nice and smooth mouthfeel. Dry finish with a slight sweetness and a pleasantly moderate bitterness.

Bottle: Clear yellow with some orange under a thin white head, floery aroma with some grass, orange and cardboard, medium body with stingy carbonation, starts and ends lightly bitter, with a sharp ending.

Can: Poured a golden yellow color pilsner with a quite large bubbly white head with average retention. Aroma of floral hops is enjoyable. Taste of malt is semi sweet with some subtle floral hops and a slightly bitter finish. This is a well-done and refreshing pilsner but really lacks character to make it truly enjoyable.

Poured a pale golden color, some yellow aspects to it, typical head and ok lacing. The aroma was Euro green bottled import: skunky grass, soft malts underneath. The flavor was a bit skunky at first, but after that settled down the grass was most dominant, followed by light honey and some bready type aspects. More balanced to the hop and bitter side of things, but overall a pretty light beer, a weak German pilsner. The mouthfeel was light, significantly carbonated, and finished slightly dry. A nice summer time thirst quencher, not special in an imported bottle, but I’d definitely try this again fresh in Dortmund.

This is a surprisingly tasty beer. It's nothing that you wouldn't expect, but it's a very well executed lager I think. There's a very crisp body with a bit of a spicy hop bite, especially at the end. I actually consider this a pretty tasty lager, almost pilsnerish.

INteresting, not very flavoured, but not annoying, nice bubbles, good foam, not boring. HAs not the Pils normal taste.
