This beer has nothing that could really interest me. Too light, too little taste.

MrW (68) - Londerzeel, BELGIUM - MAY 15, 2012
25cl bottle. Hazy yellow with a perfect pilsner white head. Just a nice pils, taste stays a bit. Doesn’t turn weak in the end. Perfect for nights out!

rangerred (332) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - FEB 17, 2012
330ml bottle poured into a footed pilsner glass. Appearance is a slightly hazy medium yellow with a fizzy white head that fades rather quickly. Smells of light grain and grassy hops and a little bit grapy. Flavor is light grain and hay along with a tiny bit of grape. A moderate bitterness is present towards the finish along with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Overall this is a pretty average pilsner. Nothing special but a great thirst quencher.

KAggie97 (3285) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - JAN 14, 2012
Bottle. Pours an average yellow with an aroma of skunked pils malt and a light tought of wet hops. Flavor is dried and skunked hops with a light earthy malt fnish. Average mouthfeel. Middle of the road.

thornecb (3091) - Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - DEC 20, 2011
Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Sour biscuit aromas. Dry with sweet caramel and sour hay upfront turning to bitter, earthy sour bread in the lasting finish.

diabel (1537) - Aarschot, BELGIUM - NOV 17, 2011
Clear blond body. White head, fair lace, quite fastly diminishing. Slightly smokey, slightly hoppy aroma. Bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Slightly astringent.

11.2 ounce bottle. Pours a pale gold with a small white head. Mild aroma of grain, malt and hops. Taste is light malt and a bit of hops. OK.

mar (3718) - Dallas, Texas, USA - SEP 14, 2011
Pale watery yellow with a white head. Not much on the nose, malts, bread, faint hops. Super thin palate, watery malts, not much going on here

rougeau13 (1216) - Texas, USA - SEP 3, 2011
Just a touch cloudy, pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of bready malt, straw, and mild citrus. The taste is grain with a little bit of citrus. Light bodied, with average carbonation, and dryness, but not much else to the finish. Compared to pale lagers on the whole, this is a pretty good beer, but compared as a pilsner, it just doesn’t do very well.

DrnkMcDermott (2439) - Downers Grove, Illinois, USA - AUG 29, 2011
33cL bottle, $1.30 single at Binny’s. Pretty pale for a pils, I think. Very pale yellow and a little cloudy. Smell has some oxidation to it, unavoidable in most imported light brews. Taste is a little overly sweet, and lacks a defining hop bitterness. True, I wouldn’t kick out of a cooler on a hot summer night. But this just shows the perils of importing delicate lagers.
