The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Zippy, huge head. Starts mild, hoppy, modest dry. Becomes more and more dusty-dry, metallically, finish is a bit moldy, not really fresh. I didn’t like it!

Draught at the Weintanne, Jena. Poured a pale golden body with a thick white head. Dusty, eggy nose, socks. Soft malty eggy taste, ok but ordinary, kinda sweet, pleasant and drinkable - it does its job more or less well.

bottle, thank you pivnizub! Clear golden yellow, large white head, quite foamy. Visible high carbonation with big bubbles but very smooth on the palate, not too lively. Solid malty base with lots of bitter and aromatic hops with a herbal and slightly grassy touch. Bitter-sweet character. Good!

It’s golden with a huge, creamy and white head. The aroma has noes of malt and flower, and the flavor is moderately sweet with notes of flower, malt, light straw - it’s very refreshing and the finish is slightly bitter.

Bottle 50cl. Unexciting typical classic german pilsener. Average impression, not good, not bad.

Bottle 500ml. @ home.

Hopfig-herber Antrunk, ab dem Mittelteil bitter. Dabei etwas grasig und minimal muffig. Im Nachgeschmack noch bitterer, dies wirkt etwas unharmonisch. Test vom 24.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,6,6,9,7 - 6,90

500ml bottle from a colleague at work. Clear very pale gold, thin white head,. Some lemon hop on the aroma. Quite light in the mouth and then decent lemony hop on the finish. Yes, it’s quite a light pils, but you know what? I could drink a lot of this in one night. No off or bad flavours. Just a touch of newspaper, but it’s a light lemony lager which I rather liked. A shed load better than similar beers in the UK. I even got some hop sting on the finish.

Yellow with a lasting white head. Aroma of grain, cardboard and herbal hops. Dry and grainy flavour with a herbal touch and medium bitterness.

Pours pale yellow with a large white head. Aroma is malt and light hay. Flavour is malt, light hay and light grass.

Bottle. Pours a clear and light amber beer with a white head. The aroma is weak with amlt and DMS. The flavor is malt. The palate is dry. Overall a beer below average.
