1.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20 hopscotch (7289) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - DEC 12, 2007
Bottle… Clear, light yellow lager with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. The nose is all lemon and skunk. Well-balanced, but restrained flavor. Moderately acidic lemon intertwines with moderate bitterness and an equal level of sweetness… along with a little skunk. Light-bodied and fizzy. Crisp, lightly bitter finish.

50 cL can. Pours clear yellow with a dense white head. Slight lemon fruity aroma. Flavour holds a mild malty breadish note to an otherwise lemonish flavoured beer. Ends slight citric and with a subdued sweetness, no real bitterness. Fresh but also bland, but no offensive.

Can. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with dusty hop notes as well as light notes of honey. The flavor is sweet malty with dusty hop notes as well as a light note of honey, leading to a dry and slightly oxidiced finish.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 bhensonb (7144) - Woodland, California, USA - NOV 3, 2007
Green bottle. Aroma of pale malt and noble hop. Golden color with a white head that rapidly flattened. Rather thin in body with mild carbonation. Light malty flavor with decent level of bitter hop. Shouldn’t there be a bit more malt for this style? Or should it be in the German pilsener category? Anyway, it’s a decent drink for a lager. The finish is dry and bitter builds.

Golden Pilsner style with a fair amount of carbonation for a Euro beer. Not getting a very pleasant aroma. Taste is pretty good , I notice hops going on here. Afairly mature tasting lager for a Pils. Nothing really notable here.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 estoppel (1028) - Buffalo, New York, USA - OCT 30, 2007
Bottle. Yellow body, white head with little retention, sour nose. Bland body with an unpleasant sourness. The bottle says it is Austria’s finest - is that much like Milwaukee’s Best?
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 LordCorkscrew (1737) - Ronco Scrivia (GE), ITALY - OCT 18, 2007
Bottiglia da 50cl comprata alla Standa di Via Cesarea; colore giallo scuro abbastanza carico, trasparente, perlage evidente e non molta schiuma. Aroma maltato con toni di erbaceo e un po’ di andato a male. Nel sapore questa sensazione si afferma prepotentemente scalzando dal trono la dolcezza del malto; frizzantezza elevata e retrogusto metallico/luppolo. Una specie di via di mezzo fra una classica helles tedesca e una pils che ha preso luce. Abbastanza stupidina.

From a bottle poured golden with a little head. Kind of a sour skunky flavor with a lingering aftertaste.
