Bottle. Pale golden, low head. Hayish and grassy aroma. Bland malt base with a bit dry bittering hops on top, a bit spicy. Lightish body. Meh.

International Green Week, Berlin 2012: our second day and Hall 20 is full of goodies, products from Niederschen, Bremen, Baden-Wurttemberg, Thuringen, Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz all competing with each other. This brewery had a lovely bar area and my wife and I found a tall table to lean against while tasting this Pilsner and then their Mohrenkopfle brew. Draught 0.3 litre glass of a pale golden Pilsner, on top a white crown: good looking beer, clean and clear, like all good Pilsners/Lagers/Helle. The regular non-smell of a Pilsner; gets my usual score of 3 for an odourless beer. Malt front, without any sweetness, crisp hop bitterness soon follows, I liked this, a little sweeter than most beers of this style yet still having the refreshing sharpness required. Easy to drink and because I enjoyed it so much I had another beer of theirs, as mentioned above.

Clear, pilsener golden with a white head leaving laces. Malty nose with traces of butter. Medium body with sweet notes of malt and again a whiff of butter. Dry but not overly hoppy finish

Disturbing the fact a lot of breweries has the Löbenbraü thing on it. It was nice not so graspy but a little excesive after a while.

Golden with a thin head. Light grassy aroma. Rather fruity hop character. Fairly dry finish with a faint pale malt character.

Bottle. Honey malt and grass hops aroma. Clear golden yellow color with moderate head. Lightly sweet honey and milk malt and moderately bitter grass hops. Nice body. Very good.

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a medium-sized foamy white head. Slightly doughy and dusty pale malty aroma with shy notes of grassy hops. Moderately sweet and light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly sharp carbonation. Slightly doughy pale malt-character with traces of grains and grassy hops; rather dry, slightly fizzy and shy hoppy finish with a low level of bitterness and grainy notes in the aftertaste. A boring Pilsener, which actually tastes more like a Helles. 15.V.10

bottle - yellow golden beer with white foam. Weak aroma. Light hops flavour.

[bottle] Hay and green apple aroma that seems a bit bitter. Yellow-straw with some white wisps and ring. Bitter flavour with some ethanol, both of which are not carried by enough malt flavour, but some is there. Crisp. Light body, moderate carbonation, moderately bitter finish, dry.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Fine foam, fine aroma. Tastes spicy, a little bit sourish. Very drinkable - not bad!

bottle. Clear pale yellow with a large head. Intensively malty with some grain. Pleasant malty background - well-balanced Pilsener.
