grainy and grassy of flavor with bittering of German style hops. some sweetness and little fruit. the effort on bringing about lightness achieved we move on.

Bottled (green). Skunk wasn’t too bad. Clear fizzy yellow pour with healthy foamy white head. Doesn’t really have an aroma. Grainy flavor with a bit of veggie/corn. Healthy bitterness. Can’t seem to make up its mind that it wants to be a Pilsner. Not terrible.

Bottle 50cl. @ home.
Clear light yellow color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, grain, hay, cabbage water notes, light hoppy, grass. Flavor is light to moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is light, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20081116]

Bottle. Yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of malt and hops with herbal notes.

Pours pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is light malt, light grass, dms and a lightstruck note. Flavour is light malt, grass and dms.

500 ml bottle. From Hilden, Germany.
Clear pale golden colour with small white head. Harsh hoppy and hay malty aroma. Grainy hay malty flavour with harsh hoppiness and some metallic notes. Bitter earthy hoppy aftertaste.

50 cl bottle. Bright yellow color, big fluffy white head, delicate lacing. Aroma of pepper and straw. Taste is very malty, bitter finish, light body. Uninteresting.

50cl bottle at home. Light coloured and like a lot of pilsener doesn’t keep its head long. Aftertaste a bit bitter and overall not a very remarkable beer

Keg (Pizza place near Fa and Fud, Rome)
Pale yellow, tiny head. Grainy breakfast cereal aroma. Simple light grain taste, milky and breakfast cereal grains. Finish simple and the grains remind me of corn. Not good, but at least refreshing.

This 500ml can tastes like it has passed the best before date. Very grassy and straw tones that are highly prominent in both aroma and flavor. It produced a thick bubbly head off the pour. Indeed drinkable.
