Blond color. Less malt character than Albertus Helles, but with a better, nice hop note.

This bottle best before 01.06.2010 but it tasted very good. Clear yellow, large smooth white head. very nice dry hoppy aroma, a little sawdust or cardboard in there. flavor is dry, a little bit flowery, bitterness comes in at the end just like it should.. Palate is soft and smooth. aftertaste is dry, bitter and sweet in a good mix. For me, a very tasty pilsener.
