Hazy blond color; a few big bubbles don’t make a head.
There is a mild but nice malt and hop aroma, but it’s ephemeral, like the head.
The flavor gets worse; first of all, it’s extremely dry; the flavor is weak, with some cereals, paper, grass; ordinary bitterness level, but the final is rather short, and the absence of structure doesn’t help.
Poor.

Bottle 33 cl from Gourmiland in Dagmersellen (CH). Gushing pale blonde, nice white head tenacious, active and fine sparkling. Malted aromas, hints of honey and hop. The taste is rather round, malted, sweetened, floral, a bit hop. Sweet final, corn and light acidulity. Without relief, lack of freshness.

0.5 l bottle at Petalax Beer Festival 2010. Hazy yellow color. Perfumed, fruity and soapy aroma. dry malty, honeyish and yeasty flavor. Very spritzy mouthfeel. Too yeasty.

Bottle 500ml. @ Petalax Beer Festival 2010 - the 4th. edition.

Clear light to medium yellow color with a average to large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, cereal, light to moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20100703]

Botttled@PBF2010. Thanks Bov. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grass, fruits, some hops and quite yeasty. Flavour is grass, earth, some grains and quite harsh,

Bottled (BB 07/2010, PBF)
Hazy yellow color, small white head. Cardboardish aroma with faint hoppy notes. Light grassy hoppy flavor, a bit harsh. active carbonation. Not very refreshing.

Bottled, thanks Bov! Cloudy pale straw colour, rich airy head. Pefrumy grassy nose. Dry and very grainy, ligyt bodied and freshly hoppy with grass and pear being obvious. Marked late bitterness. A refreshing pilsnerish lager. My bottle was quite different from how others have described it.

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of Bov. Hazy pale golden with a tall white head. Fruity (apple and pear) nose. Overly sweet. Hardly any bitterness. Residual sugars in the finish. Drinkable, a bit cloying after a few sips. Thanks Bov!

from Wirz Wein & Getränke, Entlebuch - cloudy orange-blond colour with a moderate head retention; cidery nose (too much corn sugar at bottling?); a fair astringency and a quite fizzy and biting palate; moderate malt backbone; short malty and vaguely aromatic finish - has the level of a modest homebrew
