Very decent and moreish Pilsener from - can’t belive it- Hessen..............

(bottle, from pivnizub - many thanks !) Clear, pale golden colour with a medium-sized foamy white head. Slightly sweet malty, herbal and spicy hoppy, slightly resiny aroma, that reminds me a bit of Bohemia. Sweetbitter flavour, light to medium body, crispy carbonated mouthfeel. Soft malty base, faint hints of fruitiness, herbal hoppy background; dry, slightly malty and bitter hoppy finish. Well-rounded and pretty drinkable.

Decent noble hop aroma that comes across slightly spicy, but the flavor is slightly dry and chalky. Drinkable, but unappealing on the palate.

(Bottle 50 cl) Rather pale golden with a goodlooking and creamy head. Distinct aroma of hops that also leave a bitterness that’s a bit too astringent for my liking. 120702

(16.9 oz bottle: $2.10 at Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA) Yet another unexciting imported German pilsner that fails to distinguish itself. It has a somewhat grainy malt profile, lightly sweet, and a spicy hoppiness that contributes a moderate bitterness for balance, especially in the finish. The nose is grainy and lightly hoppy, but also shows a light breadiness that doesn’t reveal itself in the flavor. The palate is fairly light in body, crisp and clean, and well carbonated. The color is a generic pale yellow, but the steady supply of carbonation bubbles is visually appealing. The white head is on the small side, fading to a sheen in time. Only a few traces of lace are left on the glass. Not the worst pilsner I’ve ever tasted, but the flavor certainly doesn’t compel me to buy another bottle again.

Slightly hazed, yellowy appearance, modest head formation. Doughy bready and spicy citrus hop aroma. Sweet malt palate, blended with peppery spice and bitter biting citrus. Dry citrus bite in the finish.

Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), moderately hoppy (flowers, herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter. Finish is moderately bitter, lightly acidic. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent. Great flavor balance with assertive bitterness, creamy mouthfeel.
