Serve in Lager glass

660ml bottle from Tescos. Straw coloured with a loose white head; big grassy aroma released as soon as the bottle was opened; flowery, dry malty flavours; with a dry finish.

"Dab aint fab" quoting nolankowal. Poured a golden color with a little white head. Aroma was a little skunky from the green bottle most likely. Maybe a light corny aroma. This was pretty crappy. I only had 1/4 of a bottle and couldnt finish it.

I would drink it again. Good session beer. Not usable for beer pong. Aroma has an appealing breadiness

Pale golden color with a thin white head that disappeares quickly. Decent carbonation. Refreshing beer, but nothing special. Smells hops and metall. Aroma of sweet malts, grain, hops and metall. Also metallic aftertaste. I don’t really think this is a pilsener, it is more likely a dortmunder. If it weren’t for that metallic presence, it could even be a decent lager, but...

Tasted 15/03/2007. 330ml bottle sshared with 4 others at Island Bay. Pale gold. Solid white head. Malt dominated aroma, sweet and grainy. A little corny, if I remember rightly. Just a little noble hop. Very minerally in the mouth, sweet maltiness and light herbal hop fades out to disolved disprin or mineral water like character. Pleasant and quite intersting. Good drop and quite well travelled - definitely not a pilsner, probably a malt balanced Dortmunder Export.

UPDATED: MAR 11, 2007 A disgusting beer from the Krauts. Drinking this reminds me of putting my head in a bail of hay. Straw (or piss) in colour; straw (piss) in taste. Scheisse!

Pours clear gold with a small fizzy white head. Sweet hay notes, malt, and a bit of fruit. Body is watery. Flavor is thin. Malt and grass are there, but not much of anything, really. Sigh, not worth another look.

Pale gold with thin white head. Some grassy notes in the aroma. Malty body with mild notes of hops. Farily smooth with a mild bitter finish.
