(bottle, 25cl) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond and dense foamy head. Slightly doughy malty aroma with notes of herbal hops. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a crisp carbonation. Soft pale malty taste with present herbal and grassy hops, dry and bitter hoppy and slightly raw finish. Tastes as if it came from the north of Germany. 05.II.12

Draught@Viisi Penniä, Helsinki. Pale golden color, slight white head. Honey aroma. Slightly bitter vegetable flavor, sweet honey finish. Medium body, medium-low carbonation. Meh.

250ml bottle. Clear yellow with average white head. Salient bitter hop aroma, almost peppery and spicy. Fizzy carbonation hampers a real tasting, could be lemonade or sparkling water as well. Some dry and soapy hop is the only other impression.

Fra fat på Poatersgat i Brugge 3 Mai 11. Lys gylden. OK kremaktig skum. God fruktig aroma. Arrundet smak. Litt parfymert. Svakt fruktig. Litt tørr bitter ettersmak. En god pils.

Poured with a large, foamy, frothy, sudsy, white head and lots of lace. After the head settled a bit the remnants were kind of scummy. Color is a clear, yellow gold with plenty of bubble trails. Aroma is beery, bitter, grain. Flavor is similar to nose with bitterness predominating, followed by a little malt, I think some multiple sweet characteristics, and a bit of tang. Body is good, and carbonation is on the soft side. Finish is like flavor and of average length. Middle of the road pils.

Draft @ Le Tavernier, Ixelles. Dorée, col épais blanc. Arôme est typique pour le style. Grains, houblons allemands et tchèques. En bouche, une fine amertume houblonnée convoyant une petite pointe fruité/citron. Petite note de malt pale et cara. Qcq bulles sur la langue pour un fini sec. Ça reste moyen, mais toujours mieux que les autres versions de pils que l’on trouve en Belgique.

golden, clear, white foam, light body, average carbonation, Pression. The taste which stay in palate at the end is pleasant. It’s a good end’s pils.
