| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 30, 2006 Piscator hit the jackpot with this one. I realize that my rating will not do this beer justice, but it is fantastic. Unreal hops for a Pilsener. Thanks for the birthday gift. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 15, 2006 Pours hazy golden with a decent sized white head. Aroma of hops, sweet malts, and citrus. Flavor is smooth, sweet, malty with a slight hoppy bitter, dry finish, not bad, but nothing great. piscator34 (1121), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 13, 2006 Bottled sample. Golden in colour with a slight amount of haze and string carbonation. Strong German noble hop aromas, with notes of grass, spices, and menthol. A fair bit of heft in the body. There’s a good malty punch to go with the grassy hop flavor and bitterness. A little bit of a yeasty note in there too, but it’s mild enough for it to come of as "character" rather than a flaw. Somewhat homebrew-ish, but I like that. Good stuff. vanvenlo (794), Glen Iris, Australia
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 8, 2006 21 Feb 06 - Light sweet fruit aroma. Cloudy light brow-yellow colour with poor head and suds lacing. Some sweetness, big hoppy but simple flavours. Malty hoppy, light bitter finish. Too much hops for me, especially for a blond. xproudfoot (729), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 4, 2006 Bottle. Brown gook on flip top. Beer looks like apple juice/thick cidery (mebbe lots of yeast). Dutch beer that tastes like it apparently conforms to reinheisgebot because it’s a province close to Germany. Fun to drink a beer that has a recipe it does due to importation regulations of hundreds of years ago? Sharp cheese palate bite, fresh yeasty water, salted with hops and a light crisp barely. White head. Quite a nice little wonder - I imagine I’ll be drinking many of these this summer, and then start homebrewing my own in the flip tops! Very, very nice for a pilsener, probably the best I’ve had to date. Might help convert beerophobes that imported stuff is worth it. Lunkie (1020), Glen Iris, Australia
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 27, 2006 Malt hop smokey aroma. Murky yellow colour with poor head and lacing. Hop malt flavour. Fizzy palate. Braudog (3752), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 22, 2006 2/23/06 (bottle): A dark and nearly opaque orange-gold beer with a medium head, this has a very sweet aroma. Very bready mouthfeel and a fruity bouqet ... cantelope, raisin, apricot ... I can’t nail down the fruit aspects, but it’s underpinned by a very doughy maltiness. Heavy consistency.
