Dusty nose that is almost non-existent. Gold color and a pretty nice head. An unpleasant aftertaste behind a weak taste. Medium bodied.

Had this in hamburg, seems to be everywhere. Average commercial pilsener. Avoid if you can. Go for Jever or anything else if you are in hamburg.

It is an average pilsener that I had on a boat ride in Hamburg. It seems to be one of the main brands in Hamburg.

On tap at a bar on the Reeperbahn, Hamburg. Dull as ditchwater pils. Lifeless, thin, bland and nasty. Just pretty bloody awful.
