300 ml bottle. From Valkenswaard, the Netherlands.
Clear pale golden colour with small white head. Fruity slightly bitter hoppiness in aroma with weak metallic notes. Bitter grassy hoppy flavour with hints of metal.

Draught. Pours light golden with a big small lazed white head. Weak hop aroma, taste is mild malty, sweet and fruity.Average

Gold yellow colour, small head, diminishing quick. Smells like a pilsner, somewhat more bitter. Also in the taste slightly more bitter. A bit longer finish than pilsner beer. Not bad not good.

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 2 Aug 2009) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Malty, grassy nose with bread, hay and generous doses of grassy hops. Malty, grassy taste with notes of bread and fresh, grassy hops with a touch of citrus. Dry and bitter finish. Medium body with solid malt foundation. Very nice and refreshing pilsener.

Bottle. Bright yellow with decent white head. Floral hop aroma is shy. Has a nice clean palate and a good body. Balanced and the floral, spicy hops do a light dance on the tongue. Decent but not that flavorful.

300 ml bottle. Golden body with a small white head. A clean malty aroma. Flavor is mild malty, a bit sweet, still refreshing, fruity, grassy bitterness and a pronounced bitter finish. OK pretty straightforward pilsner.
