Bottle 50cl. @ home.
Clear light to medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, fruity, light hoppy, grass, metalic notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light metalic. [20091028]

Comes in a great looking can that unfortunately does not support the contents. Not the best of German beers but at least not the worst, just sub-par. Colour was an okay medium gold with a smallish white head which left no lacing. Aroma was VERY lightly hopped, and the taste while adequately hopped and not weak, felt somewhat "thin" at the same time.

Really pale with a ringy lasting big white head. Aroma is a bit metallic and grassy with some dirty industrial smell. The taste is grassy bready and a hint floral, plus a hint of sulfur and uric acid. Not a Pils in wonderful shape for a fresh can.

Bottled 33cl. Courtesy of Quack-Duck. Clear yellow with a decent white head. Dissapointing aroma of glue, metal, a huge amount of cabbage and some banana. There are surprising bubble-gum, mint and melissa characteristics appearing in the flavor which give this beer some character. Otherwise rather poor. Restrained malt and hop profile. Some patato and corn sneaking in. Low bitterness. Medium bodied. Not much lacework. The taste is definetely superior to the aroma in my opinion. Wax and incense in the finish which is wheter really dry nor bitter. Thanks a lot Quack-Duck!

Bottle: Mainly grainy aroma with metalic and grassy hops. Pale yellow color, small head. Flavor is light sweet and malt, crispy hops with some grapefruit notes and some aroma hops. Not unpleasant.

Waaaaay wayway too much crap floating around in my glass after the pour. Has a very weak pale yellow colour. Good sized thick white crown with decent retention and ok lacing. The aroma is average with its dry wheat, touch of sweetness and slight skunk. There is a good ammount of flavour to be had here. Wheaty, strong malts and mild but tasty hops with good bitterness. Light to light medium bodied. Has a wheaty middle and an initial sharp bitterness that fades quickly.

Standard lager colored with medium sized white head. Hopped aroma with fruity tones, some metallic note also here. Medium bodied. Crispy hops dominate the flavor with lemon and biting palate, aftertaste lasts as bitter one. Good pils, though some metallic tone distracts.
