I had this beer many years ago at one time when I was only giving ratings to the beers but was too lazy and stupid to write down my thoughts. I will update this as soon as I get my hands on this beer again.

500ml bottle. Pale straw, firm white head. Clean, malty aroma, quite hoppy, citrus, herbs. Dry, medium body, medium to high bitterness, balanced CO2. (2012-03-06)

The beer is golden in the glass, with medium-pored and durable head. It smells hoppy, bitter, slightly grassy. Starts with a lot of bitter hops, very spicy, slightly sweet in the background. The middle part shows hoppy and grassy, again very harsh. Goes into a bitter-dry finish with ltos of bitter hops!

Bottle 330ml. @ home.

[ Trade by Gabriel ]. Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toasted, moderate hoppy, citrus, light lemon - lime. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100902]

On tap. Almost non-existent head, golden color. Taste is fresh, smooth with a bit of hops. Medium carbonation. Despite being a Pils it had some Weizen-characteristics. Very interesting in a way.

Draft in Odessa (a bar on Kanatna Street, who’s interested). Amber colour and high rocky head. Decent herbal aroma, very complex flavour: toffees, caramel, herbs, honey and many more. Not really a pils (a ratebeer’s premium lager, maybe), but a fantastic beer.

Bottle. Picked this up in Nordlingen a very cool German town that was hit by a metorite a long time ago. This is a very decent all around pils. Nice light and hoppy with a smooth carbonation touch.
