This light bodied brew is dull for the most part. Pours a golden yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is of faint corn and pears. Taste is relatively light, grainy and watery in the finish.

Found this bottled in an import multi-pack at World Market in St. Charles, Illinois. Clear, light yellow pour with a thick, foamy off white head, grassy hoppiness in the nose, slightly sweet, with a bit of raspberry and baked bread, and a muddled finish. For a pilsener, this actually has character, but it’s still not my style.

330ml Bottle - Gravity Beer Market - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Nice light pale malts with very little hops there was a tad light struck skunk aroma to this beer.
Appearance – Light golden yellow in color, Nice head and clear as a bell.
Flavor – A skunked flavored pils that was ok but not my brand of beer. The beer had a light malt build with very little hops. Bland very bland.
Palate – Crisp Mouthfeel, skunk- like texture with a semi dry finish.
Overall – A pils fro a far off land that did not travel well. Skunk from the start to the finish. This was a decent hot day beer drink fast and then get another and then anther to kill the flavor. Reminded me of the PBR’s from college.

pours a golden color. Tastes like any other simple run of the mill pilsner. Notihng to talk about here, sadly.
The commerical description is just plain wrong.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 Gurst (338) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - MAR 16, 2008
Green bottle in Togo (contracted by BB?). Light hops, but a nice malt back. Slight toast, almost sweet. Spicy hay towards end resulting from hop and malt interaction. Slightly thin body.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Wulfstan (509) - California, USA - MAR 4, 2008
UPDATED: JUN 4, 2008 This is more grainy and less hoppy than I expected, but still quite good. Deep gold, it has a huge white head that is dense and very long lasting and leaves some decent lace. The aroma is grain, honey, citrus flowers, with hints of fruit, sulphur, and pine. The taste is on the sweeter side, smooth, lightly toasted grain with a light but persistent bitterness with a gentle but long finish of herbs and grain. It has pretty good malty body, giving a firm, oily texture and good grain flavour, but it needs a little more hops to rank with other German pilsners, while it doesn’t have quite the rich malty body of Budweiser Budvar. It’s still really good, though.
