Bottle. Very hoppy, grain, light sweet and grassy. A medium sized white frothy head and a clear yellow body. The taste is light bitter all the time. The texture is creamy and dry with a light to medium body and a soft carbonation. The finish is moderate astringent.

Can, traded with some Germans on a summer festival. Should have stuck with my own stuff. Skunky and sweetish lager. Nah..

Can 12 oz from buddy in Michigan. Poured clear amber color with an average white frothy head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Light grassy aroma. Light to medium body with thin texture. Medium sweet grainy flavor with medium sweet finish of short duration. Below average beer.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours the consistency of urine yellow just barely blotting out Quake1028’s image with thin white head. Mild aroma of sweet pale grains and faint floral hops. Sweet sweet pale malts dominate the mild flavor to start followed by vague hoppiness that is neither bitter or too flavorful but is trying in vein to be floral. It ends with fading notes of sweet malts, cereal, vague hoppiness and some faint metal notes.

Ein deutsches Billig-Bier, dass ich zur Schulzeit getrunken habe, weil es günstig war...und ich brauchte das Geld. Schlecht, aber es geht wahrlich noch schlechter! Das Amerikanische Budweiser ist zum Beispiel noch schlechter!

Bottled, 500ml, pasteurised from Aldi, Banbury. Straw colour with fizzed white head. Sharp malty with carbonized wet cardboard taste, tinny, metallic. Some boiled hop notes, certainly not a great (or good0 beer.

Decent head,gold more than yellow colour,aroma sea air,citrus,flavour malty finish malty and dry.

UPDATED: SEP 14, 2009 50cl bottle poured into Hansa pilsner glass. An average pils in colour, aroma and flavour. Crisp bitterenss but maybe an aftertaste that lingered strangely.
