3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. More Bohemian than German, this is a lovely, soft perfumey pils. A bit of honey, lemon and grass with a soft bitterness. Low carbonation. All in all a well made beer.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
One litre can. Thin head that disappears quickly. Colour is clear and very light. Taste is quite neutral with light bitterness.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Grass, malt, vomit smell. Light golden colour with white head. Full body, Dry. Hint of bile. Earthy, and malt. Carbonated. I can’t get past a feeling that I just threw up when I drink it. Bitter aftertaste.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at the brewery.
Pale, thin, in color with a fast-fading head. Sweet, malty aroma with butter. Rather light flavor—of malt and hops. Not particularly rich or satisfying but crisp and clean, light and refreshing with just a bit of fruit.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at the brewpub. Clear golden, small head. Grassy nose. Dryish crisp and clean. Grassy hops are a bit subdued to fully lift the beer and the malt may be on the clean side. Still the ligt grainy crispness makes it perfectly refreshing.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice crisp, dry taste. Possibly Gotemba Kogen’s best beer at the moment. A good solid pilsner.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear golden with a full white head. Nice grass, earth, sweet malt aroma. For a pils it has a rather full body. Crisp grass hops, light sweet malts, and noticeable earth tones. Finish has light bitterness. A solid pilsener. Could use a little more hops, though.
