bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear yellow colour with a golden glow, mid-sozed white head. Hoppy nose. Solid malty base with intensive aromatic and bitter resiny hops that give the beer a herbal character. Well-balanced - a solid Pilsener!

It’s golden with a creamy, white head. The aroma has notes of malt, bread, straw, and flower. The flavor has a light sweetness and dry notes of straw, bread, malt and grass. the finish is slightly dry - nice!

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas kommt das Bier gut goldgelb daher, wenig CO2, die mittelporige Krone zerfällt recht schnell. Der Antrunk fällt überraschend malzig aus, minimal süßlich. Nachgeschmack ebenfalls süßlich und hopfiger!

Hefig-getreidig und süßlich im Geruch. Süßlicher Antrunk. Danach getreidige, aromatische Töne. Im Abgang dann erstmals feinherbe Töne im immer noch süßlichen Grundton. Aromatisch-süßes Pils. Wenig typisch - gefällt aber trotzdem.Test vom 3.8.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche

(bottle, 33cl, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Clear, pale golden colour with a medium-sized foamy white head. Pale malty and distinctively spicy herbal hoppy aroma. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Slightly buttery malty taste with rather unbalanced spicy notes (knotweed?); sweet and slightly bitter hoppy and spicy finish. Not particularly convincing. 13.IX.10

Bottle from Quack-Duck, thanks! Blonde. Plastic and some floral notes in the aroma. Floral, grassy flavor with some malt character, flowing into a longish malty finish. Sticky mouthfeel. Butter in the far background.

Bottle: Golden with a greenish shee with a small white lacy head, noble hops detectable in the aroma, but besides malt also a touch of cardboard and glue; moderate to solid drier bitter-sweet flavour, even though light bodied, a small malty base is detectable; light aromatic hoppy finish. Not bad, a light-weighted semi-bohemian Pilsener..............
