I expected much more from the "flagship beer" of Berlin. Although the aroma is ok, the taste is a bit watery.

Pawola22 (3180) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 9, 2013
On tap at several places throughout Berlin. Pours a clear, straw colored body with an inch thick, foamy and frothy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is slightly oxidized with a light DMS note, some lightly sweetened pils malts, grass, and a few fruity hints. Flavor is better. Not as much oxidation or DMS. A bit grainy and lightly sweetened with an even grassiness throughout. Finishes dry and lightly bitter before leaving a medium length aftertaste. Light body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a decent pilsner. Nothing special, but not bad.

Pale yellow clear body with white tight head. Aromas hops , malts, grains. Palate medium bodied with lively carbonation and mouth feel. Aftertaste sweet malts and crispy medium short hops finish

BlackHaddock (2440) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - MAR 11, 2013
Berlin is awash with this Pilsner: has it taken the best of ’Berliner Kindl’ and ’Schulthesis Pils’ from the 80’s before the wall fell, or is it an all new super-brew made with the cheapest ingrediants available? It’s not the former: it’s a basic golden, bright Pilsner with all the usual attributes; but nothing to stand it apart from all the rest. Crisp? Yes. Clean? Yes. Refreshing? Yes, but is it interesting? No.

visionthing (1727) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 9, 2013
33cl bottle in Berlin. Clear pale golden with a white head. Aroma of malt with notes of hops and fruits and hints of something unpleasant. Light to medium sweet with a pleasant bitterness and a lightly bitter aftertaste. Refreshing and easy to drink. (2013-04-05)

Nice german pilsner with a pronounced bitterness and pleasant fullness. Foam was maybe a little bit too weak.

AWS9 (419) - Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 18, 2013
On tap at a Berlin hostel. Lame pour. Somewhat skunky smell. Thin taste, albeit the hop taste isn’t repulsive as the aroma may imply. Simply a pretty poor pilsner all around.
