A decent pilsner with a pretty average, semi-full flavor. The aroma is also decent and the color is a light brown/gold. A pretty good beer.

I am a huge fan of Pilsner as a style and as such I am a bit of a traditionalist. I can see why so many like the beer. Its distinctive with a huge fruity flavour. Passionfruit. So is it a pilsner...? I don’t think so.

100ml from bottle at EBF 08. Light hazy, late straw body – fading, white foam. Citric aroma. Taste of sweet passion fruits, supplemented by discreet bitter endnotes. Clean tasting, refreshing and easy to drink. More than an average pilsner (12.09.2008).
