Papsoe (22983) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - OCT 22, 2005
(Bottle 50 cl) Neatly golden pilsener with a creamy but rather discreet head. Nice, full body and a solid hoppyness - the latter is a bit unusual for Fürstenberg. 181002

yespr (22205) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - FEB 16, 2007
50 cL bottle. Pours yellow with huge white head. Aroma is pilsener malt. Aroma adds hops in a strange way: not really bitter and not really fruity. Label states that aroma hops extract has been added. It completely lacks sweetness and is rather dry, interesting experience - but not something I would return to.

omhper (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 8, 2003
Bottled. Pale golden with minimal head. Aroma of metal and vegetables. Crisp and light bodied with some harsh grassy bitterness. Sadly this beer starts to lean more towards latin american lager than german pilsener nowadays.

fiulijn (10421) - Como, ITALY - JUN 25, 2011
Blond color, with fake head. The usual, poor, smell: corn and some dirty water. Dry mouthfeel, strong bitterness, poor flavor. Indistinguishable.
