Bottle. Pale golden, lacing white head. Toasted, light dusty malt nose, overlaid by metallic hops. Light dusty and nutty malt base, cheap hop counterpoint. thin and tinny. Sarkly and refreshing but not much else.

Deutlich getreidiger und süßlicher Beginn, eine leichte Blumigkeit ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Es mangelt aber an einer Bitterkeit, die die Süße zurückhalten würde, harmonisch ist es daher nicht. Hopfiger, eher grasiger Mittelteil. Von da an wird das Bier spürbar würziger, das Getreide wird breiter und verdrängt die Süße zusammen mit einer aufkommenden, recht milden Bitternote. Zitrusartiger Abgang. 11/8/9/11/11/11

bottle from Kaufland Pforzheim. Clear golden yellow, large white head. Solid malty base, pleasantly hoppy, not as boring as many examples of the style. Quite nice.

The beer foam properly. Slightly bitter, bitter soon after, so it remains until the end. This balanced but the dry aromatic finish pulls. Otherwise, a traditional export

Bottle looks simple, but good. Beer in the glass a bit light, nice head. Starts mild, modest hoppy-dry. Finish shows some lemon notes, modest spicy. Could be a bit stronger.

Bottle 500ml. @ home.

Clear light medium yellow color with a average to large, frothy - fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toated, sweet malt, light to moderate hoppy, green grass. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20101118]

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a fluffy white foam. Medium-sweet grainy and cereal-like aroma with a light herbal hoppy notes, accompanied by honey-fruity accents. Bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a crispy carbonation. Grainy, malt-accented taste with light notes of honey on a herbal background. Quite dry, slightly bitter finish with a delicate herbal hoppy touch. Once again a Hoepfner brew of reliable quality (02.05.07).

Bottle. Almost golden-colored body, clear, with a small, white head. Decent maltyness in the aroma, especially compared to the pilsner, and it has some fruity hops as well. It’s not a world-class aroma though. The flavor is, like the aroma, grainy, malty and fruity, leading to a hop-fruity finish without much bitterness. Thin to medium body. I’m not overly impressed by the beer, but it’s quite drinkable. (070705)

Bottle. Yellow / golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt. Flavour is sweet, fruit, malt. Ordinary pilsner.

Bottle from MiP. Flowery aroma with just a hint of soap. Flowery, malty, grassy hopbitter flavor, somewhat perfumed. Soft bitter aftertaste. Tasty, but too perfumed.
