Thank you hotstuff and thedm for bringing this to our little ratingsession. Straw yellow color, small layer of a head. Not much in the nose. Kind of grassy taste. Not a good pils.

This The DM & Hotstuff’s European Honeymoon trip beer number 85. This bottled brew from the Ettaler Monastery in Oberammergau Germany poured a large head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained soft carbonation, was transparent and yellow in color. Its aroma contained notes of malt and was very mild. Its mouth feel is smooth with a slightly tingly palate and a malty aftertaste. Its flavor contained malty hoppy notes that favored the malts. A very average brew.

bottle. nothing special, below average pilsener from Germany. nice color,long palate and bad taste.

(Draught@Sailors) Very buttery-malty aroma with slightly harsh, grassy hoppiness. Butter also dominating the flavor, with pear-fruity hints and some grassy hops. Medium body, lowish carbonation. Quite sweet and basic, buttery pils.

Draught@Kaisla. Pale yellow color, small white head. Grainy, a bit buttery malty aroma with light grassy hops. Sweet malty flavor, fizzy carbonation. Like Seppo said ... some fruity pear notes, almost like drinking perry. Boring pale lager.

Bottle: Poured a golden clear color with a froathy white head. Aroma is malt with some hops present. Taste is water with light hops.

Vague sour almondy aroma. Pleasant carbonation, fairly watery palate. Soft malty body, some slightly emasculated hops. Slightly milky and a touch of almond. Not much finish, a bit of hops I guess. A little sticky, but does quench a thirst. Really not enough bite for a pils.

Bottle from the Ettaler Monastery in Oberammergau, Germany. White head, fair lacing, transparent, carbonated and a pale yellow hue. Weak malt aroma. Malt and lightly bitter flavor. Light bodied pilsener and very boring IMO.

A faint, slightly unpleasant nose kind of fart-like greets you. The color is a little too pale blond for me. The taste is weak and not balanced: basically buttery with a touch of bitter. Has a creamy mouthfeel, yet a very thin body at the same time. Not a good beer.
