Appearance: Pours muddy, shiny orangy golden, very similar to Bavarian Weizen, very lively carbonation, a lot of yeasts clouds floating in the body texture, head is snowy white, frothy, initially medium, slowly decreasing to small, leaving nicea lacing and yeast sediment at the glass bottom.
Aroma: Sour, accidic, sharp hoppy, grapefruit, lemon, nice yeast accents at front, healtyh and refreshing hoppy bitterness with a chalky, cardboardy, positive and inviting, barley background, additionally spicy in hoppy profile. All the typical stuff characteristic of Engel Engele Premium Pils but here yet enriched by additional yeasty accents.
Flavour: Very sharp hoppyness, tangy, highly astringent, strongly bitter, grapefruit. lemon, grapefruit seeds and other citruses, spices, flour, chalk, cardboard, due to the unfiltered yeast alcohol is well balanced and not felt as much as in the filtered version. Finsh duration is long and pleasant with lingering noble hoppy nose.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is highly astringent, sharply bitter, rich in noble type Classic German Pilsener hops in nose, very pleasant and impressive.

Nice fruity hoppy aroma. Golden colour with a nice white head. Nice bitter hoppy taste. Nice!

Soft beer, with nice bready malt, spicy hop balance (but a little milquetoast in the process - just not enough flavor going on). Nicely conditioned, as seems to be the case with Engel beers. Recommended by a very nice waitress at Katedra, a must beer bar in Krakow. Nicer in aroma than flavor, the exact opposite of the much better Engel Premium Herbfrisces Pils.

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, April 2010. Pours cloudy yellow with a creamy head and lacings. Nose is grainy and hoppy. Dry, grainy and grassy flavor. Medium bodied. Crisp and dry.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Light cornish and vague malty aroma. Mild butterish note to a medium dry malty base flavour. Light bitterness into the finish.

Pale yellow the glass with high turbidity and good foaming. It smells fruity and yeasty, little hoppy. Starts fruity, well recent and fresh. The finish is heavily into the tart. The middle part has some light orange flavors.

Hazy golden color, white head. Herbal aroma of hops with malty tones. Malts and hops in the flavor.

Bottle from Pivnizub. Thanks! Pale golden color, hazy. Hoppy, flowery, somewhat herbal flavor with a touch of rubber. No specific aroma. herbal bitter aftertaste.
