Bottle. Hazy yellow with a medium white head. The aroma is light hoppy, fruit, yeast and herbs. In the flavour is fruit, caramel and herbs. Not very pilsner like.

olfatto poco erbaceo gusto poco luppolato e senza un gran finale beverina e semplice

750ml bottle from Enoteca Bonatti, Firenze, sampled at The Penguin. Peachy murk with a white head dissipating to a halo, then nothing. Delicious fresh herbal hop and pale malt aroma immediately evocative of Munchen and beyond, with notes of fresh cut grass, lemon and lime, wine gums, honey and yep, a splash of Spumante. All that in the mouth with added soapy citrus, bags of shrubby hop, flowers, honey, lingering bread and biscuit.Totally fresh and harmonious, not a note out of place. Only disappointing thing is that slightly pondwatery conditioning and lack of sparkle, odd considering the Spumante yeast used. Still, a fitting birthday toast and a beer that with a little tweaking could be world class.

Bottle 0,75ltr: This one of the best Pilseners i ever drunk, and its come all the way from Triest, Italy. Golden coloured well balanced hoppy taste and a great bitter finish.
