Nice pilsener out of my home country. Naturally brewed, handled with care. It isn’t very special but it’s just a fresh pilsener with a fine aftertaste. It’s not a beer that you keep drinking on and on though.

Above average pilsner. Very refreshing with some nice hoppy notes and a balanced bitterness. Looks good as well with a nice head and nice colour. Very drinkable and relatively cheap.

Can shared with McTapps. After a hundred of german beers this alfacwas so different. So belgian, so yeasty - with even a nice hoppy hint in the nose. Above average for a "simple" beer like a pilsner seems to be.

McTapps (1623) - Ruhrgebiet, GERMANY - MAY 1, 2013
Can. Golden colour with big creamy steady head and medium body. Nose of malt. Taste of intense hops, low malt, green beans, ripe grains and cloves. Very easy to drink with some gentle yeasty finish.

kaziopiwosz (255) - Warszawa / Wałbrzych, POLAND - APR 8, 2013
300ml bottle bought in Amsterdam. Somewhat malty with a small nute of bitterness in taste, malty and hoppy palate. White, very thick foam, stays very long. Yellow colour. Not a bad beer.

stevoj (971) - Ramstein-Miesenbach, GERMANY - MAR 6, 2013
Pours pale, straw yellow, with creamy head, asmall amount of lacing in the glass.Surprising fresh smell of malt, yeast, grassy hops, like pils. Taste is similar, but a bit faint. Mouthfeel is thin, watery. Very drinkable and cheap.

jabbeloo (73) - Denderbelle, BELGIUM - FEB 22, 2013
Great pils beer with a nice good looking foam head. Barley smell and barley taste sparkling on the pallet and balance hoppy taste with middle long after taste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone By Belleketels

Douberd (682) - NETHERLANDS - NOV 28, 2012
Bottle of 300 ml, at home. I’ve had it quite a few times, now I realized I haven’t reviewed it. Light golden colour, with two fingers of white head, average activity in the glass. Head goes off fast, leaving no lacing. Malted grains on the aroma and on the taste too. Medium bitterness. Thin body and light carbonation. Easily drinkable but if I couldn’t find it for some reason, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

@Backlog gelig pils aroma: klein beetje hop, hooi, graan smaak: vrij vlak en flets met iets van sinasappel en lichtzoete afdronk vrij vlak (smaakloos) pilsener, goedkoop en dorstelessend

BlackHaddock (2440) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - NOV 4, 2012
33cl Bottle: best before Apr 2013, poured into a ’La Chouffe’ tulip on 3rd Nov 2012, the first beer in a random tasting evening. Usual golden pilsner/lager look: bright and clean. The nose and taste were on the malty side compared to most tasteless/mini-hoppy flavoured beers of this style. I quietly enjoyed this, which for me to say about a pilsner (drank at home) is very unusual indeed. The malt flavours stayed thoughout the tasting and the body held the alcohol and hop bitterness nicely together which produced a pleasant dry finish.

kiwianer (2464) - Mönchengladbach, GERMANY - NOV 1, 2012
The head was medium. It smells sweet and a bit bitter and hoppy. The taste is sweet, very sweet for a Pilsener, a bit soft and watery, In the aftertaste metal. 11/8/9/8/10/8
