Certainly a very pretty beer - pale yellow with a classic white head. Light in body and easy to drink, with strong smoky bitter hops. Good enough, but I prefer more body and crisp hops instead of this much bitterness.

Pours pale yellow with an off-white head. Aroma is DMS, malt, light hoppy lightly metallic. Flavour is malt, light dms, metallic hops.

I can see how this beer can get lost in the land of huge and barrel aged beers. This is a excellent example of a highly quaffable, bitter German pils. This managed to help ease the pain of another Raiders loss, this time to the Texans. Ugh.

The beer pours out a bright yellow color, crystal clear with a bright fluffy white head with really nice lacing. Light carbonation is also present. Aroma starts out slightly skunky, but after a bit of breathing the grassy notes really shows up. Body has a fantastic combo of lightly roasted grains and crisp German hops. The whole beer was bright and flavorful and I really wish that more people could be exposed to this beer because it really is phenomenal. A great beer.

Crisp and dry, with a slightly lower ABV than many German pilseners with this level of flavor and hopping. I had always avoided it due to the green bottle, but I haven’t noticed any skunkyness. A good clean session beer that matches up nicely with a big plate of currywurst from the doener stand down the street. The nose reminds me of Hofbrau O-fest, but with more of an herbal hop character.

A faint nose of hops and lemon. Taste is herbal and dry. Typical for its style, but nothing too exciting. Good in the sun though.

Bottle. Light aromas of grain and herbs for the malt and hops, with a hint of paper in the background. Head is small, frothy, white with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear pale yellow/gold. Flavor starts lightly acidic then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery with a lively carbonation and a dry finish. A nice crisp beer, just like it’s supposed to be.

Sampled on tap 7/12/2009. This pilsner pours a medium yellow gold color from the tap. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal and grainy, fruity and sweet. A medium to full bodied pilsner. The malts are fruity, cereal and grain. The hops are floral and spicy. A nice clean, crisp pilsner. Nice balance. Good carbonation. This is what a pilsner should taste like. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Classica pils dal colore biondo, limpida, profumo di luppolo molto intenso e gusto amaro piacevole e dissetante.
