Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of bartlebier. Balanced and without major flaws. Good pale malt back. Decent bitterness. I enjoyed this beer. Thanks a lot bartlebier!

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2013 50cl local Getränkemarkt, as this is considered a regional speciality but not regional enough for bigger supermarkets to carry it. - Pours a greenish grainy lager with dull head. Label mentions use of feiner Tettnanger und Hallertauer Naturhopfen, but the doses are minimal; fine and persistent Tettnang spice and pepper remain mere hint. Metallic notes in aroma and defining mouthfeel. Bavarian-style sweet lager graininess. needs more than work to become a decent pils, e.g. different recipe.
Rerate: 2nd bottle drunk in full sun with a view, shining a redeeming light on this modest but, granted, refreshing and lager-style SW-DE pils. Not likely to become a house beer, though.

A golden color when poured with a nice frothy head. Definately can taste the malt and hops. Not too bitter.

Bottle 50cl, from Quack-Duck thanks. A clear golden beer with medium head. Nose is hopy and grainy, aroma is very hopy with sweet malt, very nice pilsner with very interesting hops bouquet on grass and bitterness, but body is a bit less complex and malty that the unfiltered one.

(bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Clear, pale golden colour with a thick and slightly off-white foamy head. Slightly grainy pale malty aroma with a tinge of honey, biscuits and a touch of flowery and slightly herbal aroma hops. Mildly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a pleasantly soft carbonation. Rounded pale malty base with a present and aromatic hops character, leading into a moderately dry and bitter hoppy finish with herbal and floral accents. 18.I.12

Lahev(děkuji Quack-Duckovi!):Golden, clear, lazy carbonation, mid-sized and very stable white head, buttery and noble- hoppy nose; moderate to solid dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering dryish Tettnang finish, some balancing pale malt underneath. Superb stuff…

bottle, fresh from the brewer himself. Clear golden yellow, mid-sized white head. Hoppy aroma. Quite intensive malt flavours with fresh, aromatic hops, slightly resiny, slightly herbal. Not very hoppy for the style, except for the quite hoppy finish. Smooth palate. Very nice beer.

Golden refreshing Pilsener. Not too much bitterness. Interesting hops in it. Something like pefume and citrus. a little sweet and malty. average carbonation. the taste doesn’t last long, but it’s still something different compared to the most german pilseners because of the nice aroma.

Bottle 500ml.

Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toasted, light to moderate hoppy, grass, green grass. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20101016]

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear golden with a white head. Flowery hops dominate the nose. Medium body, good malt base but again the good and flowery hops dominate leaving a crisp and dry bitterness. 161010
