Amber color, big frothy head. Malty, hoppy, bit vegetable-like aroma. Malty, almost creamy flavor with a good deal of hopbitterness. Medium bodied, just a bit flowery. Short bitter finish.

500 ml bottle. Pours clear yellow. Mediocre. Drink it, forget about it. Or leave it. Not missing anything.

Bottle. Dark gold without bubbles, white skim. Not an especially nice aroma; matchbox, rubber band, some cabbage- any grassiness buried. Marginally better flavour; grassy hop and biscuit, but again undermined by phosphorus and rubbery off notes. Still condition. Either badly damaged, a poor example of German brewing, or a bit of both. Late almonds and honey; the sensation of butter on the tongue. Tempted to tip.

Bottle at Artliners, Berlin. Pours a clear light orange with a white head and lacings. Light sweetness with aromas of light malts. Medium to light bodied. Soft carbonation. Mellow light, hoppy finish... Guess the key word here is "light"?

Half-litre flip-top bottle taken on 16 Apr 2011 in the excellent ’Aufsturz’, Berlin. This is a good example of a Southern German Pilsner, smoother than those from the north, but full bodied and showing all the favourable attributes of the style: clear, golden colour, snowy white head and a hop content which is notiveable but not obtrusive in any way. A little stronger than most Pilsners alcohol wise, but it hides it’s strenght well. Easy to drink and even with a slighty bitter hop aftertaste it is one of the best Pilsners I’ve ever had.

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is honey corn, malt. Flavour is honey, corn, malt, fruit, hop. Boring beer.

Pale yellow clear white head lacing. Aromas malty, grainy, hay. Palate medium full full, crispy mouthfeel. Carbonation lively. Taste malty, dry hoppy. Finish mild malty hints of bitterness hops. Boring but nice crisp on the end.

Bottle in Aufsturz. Medium gold with a thin head. Aroma is sweet malt, Flavour is sweet, honey malt with a light bitterness that develops the longer you drink.

500 ml flip-top bottle picked up in Germany. Pours a deep dark copper brown color with an off-white head. Taste is a kind of bland sweet malt. Palate and finish are grainy. Ok
