[ As Emelisse Wild Label Urtyp Pilsner ].
Unclear medium orange colour with a large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, hay, straw, toasted - caramel notes, moderate hoppy, grass. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, fruity, hay - grass, fresh. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110923]

In short: An unexciting nourishing pils, slightly below average for the style
How: Tap at Wildeman, Amsterdam
The look: Cloudy yellow-blonde body topped by a small white head leaving good lacings on the glass
In long: Nose is lightly hoppy and has a lemony character. Taste packs plenty of cereals, quite fruity with mostly pineapples but also other refreshing fruits, a moderate amount of grassy hops. More nourishing than crisp. All that would be fine but there was also a sweet corn flavor that bothered me. All in all this was an average pils at best. I should have ordered something else. With so many better beers on the menu at Wildeman this beer was like a desperate ugly dude desperately trying to make eye contact with a girl but nobody wants to go out with me. I mean, with him.

Sehr frischer getreidiger und hellmalziger Beginn. Vollmundiger Gesamteindruck, würzig, kernig, schmeckt „deutsch“. Gelungen weiches Pils! 11/11/12/12//11

Pour at the Borefts Bier Fest 2011. Slightly hoppy, creamy feel - easy to drink.

Tap @ 3th Borefts 2011. A clear yellow colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma is hoppy and malty. The taste of bitter hops, with malts and fruits like citrus. The aftertaste is bitter for a while.

On tap at In De Wildeman. Pours a hazy, bright gold with a creamy, white head. Nice aroma, sweet, honey, yeast, citrus, bread. Flavor is sweet, malty, a little lime, yeast. Medium bodied, dry finish.

Tap @ In De Wildeman. Yellow, hazy color, white uneven head. Aroma’s of grass, grain, fruit, malt, some bitterness. Flavor is ever so slightly sweet with upcoming bitterness. Finishes with a firm bitterness. If all pilsner beer were like this I’d drink much more of it (so actually a good thing it’s not).

Draft at BBF 2011. Hazy golden pour with white head. Slightly floral, fruity aroma. Floral hoppy flavour with a bitter finish
