MrRomero (1959) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - NOV 16, 2003
Bottle, Eurostar Station, London. Mine was 5.2% ABV. Has a roasted malt flavor resembling coffee. Reminds me of Deibels Plato 13(?). Very good.

wastl (113) - GERMANY - DEC 2, 2007
Bottle. Golden colour, average carbonation. Less bitter than one might expect from a german pils from the high north. Notes of malt and much more bitter in the end than in the beginning. Good Pils.

johndoughty (2814) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - NOV 4, 2002
Probably the first German lager that many people in Britain tried. As such its a good introduction before moving on to the more tasty one’s. Nevertheless it has a pleasant pale appearance and a light refreshing taste. Quite unique in its taste yet easy to knock -not to be turned down on a warm summers day.

Bronstein (175) - Göttingen, GERMANY - DEC 20, 2002
Yellow color, fine head which doesn’t last really long. Aroma sweet and skunky. Starts sweet and continues fuller with some malt. Finishes drier without getting bitter. Light dry aftertaste with some malty spice. Pretty lean and crisp. A little bit bothering my palate to much. Medium body. Top 10 seller in Germany. Most popular beer from Hamburg.
