2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear golden, small head. Grassy nose with paper underneath. Mid-sweet and a bit fruity. Light-medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. The hops are there, but it’s way too sweet, too rounded and too simplistic to be a German pilsener, loosing all sense of drinkability. Feels dead dull. If anything it’s more akin to German supermarket beers like Becks or Warsteiner than the real stuff. Would not qualify among the top 1000 pilseners in Germany.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours gold with a decent fluffy white head. Noble hop aroma. Medium plus body with medium carbonation. Flavor is pale malt and grassy hop, then the malt goes a touch bready. Clean, refreshing. Very drinkable.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of grain, some grass, flowers and sweet malts. For a second there, I swear I smelled strawberries (I wonder where that came from). Tastes of grain and some sweet malts. Thinner body.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A pretty good beer, but it doesn’t really taste like a pilsner. It isn’t hopped very well and has a slight sweetness in the body. Kinda reminds me of a cross between an Oktoberfest and a Kolsch.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a medium slightly hazy yellow with a light layer of white head. Sweet Pilsener malt and some floral hops provided a very pleasant aroma. Flavor picked up some lighter fruits, noble hops, and biscuits. Rather grainy on the palate, with a nice sweet finish of citrus and wheat. Decent and refreshing pils, but nothing spectacular.
