Bottle. Clear golden with a soapy white head. Herby and grassy nose. Tastes crisp and bitter with bready malts. A bit of that Kindl oiliness and, surprisingly, astringency, though the grass and bread dominate here. Touch of spice. Easily forgettable.<!-- p -->More of an attempt at a Helles than a Pale Lager.

From BA (Jan 2007): Brown 0.5 litre bottle bought in Berlin and flown home to the UK for this tasting session. Golden pilsner/German Export colour, poured into my Veltins tulip glass, which is my standard German beer tasting glass. Good white foaming head, like most Exports/pilsners it does not stay for very long. No real aroma, barley and wheat maybe. Pilsner taste more than Export to me, still nice and refreshing, but no hint of the 5.5% strenght. Slightly disappointing mouthfeel which in turn effects the drinkability score. I would love to try this next to the Berliner Kindl Pilsner, so I could compare them. To sum up, nothing wrong with this beer but no great shakes either.
