It’s warm golden with a huge, creamy, white head. The aroma has notes of bread, malt, flower and a little straw. The flavor has a light sweetness and notes of bread, malt, straw, flower, and the finish is dry and refreshing - really nice.

Bottled, 500ml. It’s been hanging around for a while, found it in the garage. Yellow gold colour with white head. Nicely balanced fully flavoured Pilsener, light dry, crisp, herby body, reasonable character, then a slightly spicy hop finishing quite citrusy. A breakaway from blander lagers, I was impressed.

(bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a stable foamy white medium head. Floral hoppy and bitter lemon aroma with a touch of honey. Bitter and fruity flavour, light to medium bodied, lively carbonated. Dry malty taste with honey and a herbal hoppy lasting bitter finish. Aromatic and quaffable Pils.

Bottle. Honey malt and light hay hops aroma. Clear pale yellow color with only a slight head. Sweet light honey malt flavor and lightly bitter grassy hops flavor. Drinkable but forgettable.

Draught at Brixx in Chapel Hill, NC. Slightly hazy, golden color with thin white head. Light bodied and dry with a grassy hop nose and flavor. There is also a light citrusy note. Didn’t exactly knock my socks off.

Bottle from Venerables. Clear light golden colour, off-white head. Nose is grassy, malty, bit citric. Flavour is grassy, citric, light malted. Well hopped. Medium bodied. Fairly bitter finish. Excellent

Bottle at home - 04/09/12. Chill haze on a pale golden pour with a bubbly white head that soon thinned. Sweet nose of malt, grain and cereals and a touch of grass. Pale malts at the fore of the taste, not as sweet as the nose but a certain level of sweetness present. Medium bodied and the correct level of carbonation for the style. Clear crisp finish.

(bottle) pours a clear yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of grass, sweet spices, marzipan and light cardboard. flavour is mostly the same, with a hint of butter, lots of honey and a bracingly bitter finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

(500ml Marks & Spencer GermAN Pils). Eazy to sink pils, with a smooth personality =bready malty and lightly bittter ; A nice creamy sweet honey malt emphasis. Some herbal woodiness and berry like notes. Like Bitburger Pils without as much expressive bitterness.
