Not too bad of a beer. Pour is golden straw colour with bright white head. Aroma is malty, grassy and mild floral scents. Taste is malty and wet grass. Pilsner aren’t usually my favourite, but this one is pretty crisp and very drinkable.

Papillon (283) - Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 29, 2009
500 mL Can sampled Dec 26, 2009. Clear straw body with a frothy white head, nice lace. Aroma sweet malt, yeast, grass, and somewhat floral. Flavor light sweet malt with a nuttiness about it, hops express strongly in the aftertaste followed by a grassy-floral finish. Simple but good. Another good German Pil I won’t refuse.

MrRoss (646) - Delta, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 17, 2009
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.

DerWeg (1271) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 15, 2009
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.

Allen (2469) - SWITZERLAND - JUL 12, 2009
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!

Geiserich (2339) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - JUN 26, 2009
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.

Vertical Bacon Strips (1699) - Asshat, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 20, 2009
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.
