Poured from bottle. Not much aroma to it, and what there was had a faint skunky overtone to it. Appearance was nice, though, with a long-lasting pillowy head and lace topping a hazy gold-yellow. Taste is straightforward, with a good malt beginning followed by a mild hop finish and good carbonation. Definitely a session beer, and a decent choice for that.

Bottled. A golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry bready finish.

A fine pilsner with more flavor than most. Both bready malt and noble hop flavors shine in the flavor of this beer. The aroma is fairly nondescript, nothing bad but not much more than a fresh dinner roll malt note. The malt is a bit too simply sweet, but the hops cut right through the sugar. It’s a surprisingly big flavor for the abv and style. A pleasant surprise.

16.9 oz. bottle- Pours pale golden with a disappearing head, aroma is like a typical European lager, and the flavor is the same. Mellow and very drinkable.

Very drinkable lager. Pour is bright gold with a bountiful white head. Aroma of fruits and hops with light malts and grasses. Taste is malty and slightly skunky with floral tones. Easy smooth texture with high carbonation.

Gold, rather loose white head. Cereal malts and some floral hop aroma. Thin body, little bitterness. Possibly a bit stale. Poor for the style.

Bit bourring for my taste, smells of hay, pours a light bronze colour with thin head which soon goes. tastes a little sweet, malts and hops but nothing exciting, medium fizz, easy to drink but wouldnt get it again.

Bottle, pours crystal clear with a thin whispy off-white head that leaves no lacing. Aroma is grassy, with a sweet malt character. Quite dry, grassy and a bit spicy. Lively carbonation. Probably the trip to the US but seems a little stale and unlively.
