1st Beer in one of my German and Lager tasting evenings during Aug 2011. 500ml Brown bottle, best before Jan 2012. The beer poured a bright, clear, pale golden colour with a lovely snow white head that gave off some good lacing as the beer sank down the glasses. The beer seemed odourless, so gets my normal score of 3 for a non-smelling pilsner/lager. The taste was a soft blend of malts and hops, the hops giving a mini-dry, bitter finish. Good carbonisation, this style of beer should have some sparkle about it. A good start to the evenings drinking.

Ein Bier mit wunderbar gold-gelber Farbe und schönem Schaum. Der Antrunk gestaltet sich angenehm prickelnd. Geschmacklich eine wohl ausbalancierte Mischung aus süßem Malz und Hopfen-Herbe. Das Finish ist trocken-malzig. Für das Kronen Export kann ich nur gute Noten verteilen. Hier stimmt einfach alles. Ein Referenz-Produkt. Anmerkung:1990 noch mit respektablen 5,6%!Test vom 12.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a finger-and-a-half worth of white head. Lacings. Malty, grassy nose with some faint notes of wet cardboard. You have to take a really deep, good sniff to get the wet cardboard aroma. Sweet malty flavor with some hay notes and a grassy, fruity note. Not much bitterness initially, but some occur in the finish. Medium body, quite fizzy. Dry. Quite drinkable, but I think it would be challenging to finish more than one bottle. 091010

Bottle. A light bitter aroma, some malt and quite a lot of hops. Also some bread. The white foamy head is medium large and stays normal long. The body is clear and yellow. The taste is a little bit like soap, later on it gets bitter. The body is light to medium, dry and a little bit creamy with a normal carbonation. The finish is light astringent.

Clear golden with a medium white head. Malty aroma with phenol notes. Sweet malty aroma with grassy hops and fruity notes. Finished dry and somewhat bitter.
