Süßlich herber Antrunk, etwas plörrig. Die Süße wird schwächer, an selber Stelle wird das Bier bitterer, alles bleibt aber in dem etwas plörrigen und mildem Rahmen. Zum Ende würziger, wenn auch nur leicht, malzig-herb. Trinkbar. 8/7/8/6/4/7

Clear golden with a small white head. Malty aroma with hints of cardboard. Flavor had malt, cardboard and hints of hops. Finished dry and slightly bitter.

Bottled. A pale golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of straw, minerals, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and minerals, leading to a lightly bitter finish. The carbonation is soft. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Some malt and diacetyl in the nose. Medium body, unclean and skewed malts - slightly tart? Ends dry. Poor and unclean. 080910

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grassy and slight cornish. Sweet malty, cornish and slight syrupy. Ends sweet and cornish, vague bitterness.

Bottled 33cl. Indeed, so little ratings and most of them are from Australia to my surprise! Appearance: Pale yellow with a quick diminishing white head. Not much lacework. Aroma: Glue, chestnuts, mushrooms and vegetables showing up. All characteristics I don’t appreciate in a Pilsener. Poor malt and hop profile. Flavor and palate: Oily. Hints of chestnuts and marzipan. Some bitterness. Hints of compost in the finish. Overall impression: Mediocre.

Sweet malt hop aroma. Murky yellow colour with no head or lacing. Malt hop flavour with stale aftertaste. Flat palate.

Bottle (picked up cheap at Purvis because it’s past its used by date) -- Pale amber with fast receding medium sudsy white head. A little lacing. Fairly nondescript aroma of hops and taste to match. Watery mouthfeel. Run-of-the-mill Swiss supermarket beer. Hmmm... Why is this only the third rating and two of us are from Oz?!

Light gold with a small head. Strong hop aroma. Immediate strong but rather unpleasant bitterness. A complete rip-off @ AU$5.50 per bottle. Why is this only the second rating?
