3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Bright light clear golden pour with huge white head. Yep, smells like a pilsener with lovely bitter German hops. Tastes a bit sweeter, grainier than most. More hops, I suppose. Very solid.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
bottle. Clear golden colour, large white head, very hoppy nose. Hops dominate the flavours. Solid but shy malty base, the hops could be more aromatic. Rather bitter, but quite all right.

<b>No 569</b>
<b>Rated: 16.09.2008</b>
<b>Bottle green, 500 ml</b>
<b>Appearance: </b> Pours beautifyl sunny, shiny, bright gold body with nice saturation and very impressive carbonation consisting visually of a small bubbles, body is clear in texture with intensive thick, pure, clean and snowy white, dense and compact head, giving nice lacing. Head is initially huge in size, slowly decreasing to medium. Very impressive in overall visuall impression. Really impressive lacing.
<b>Aroma: </b>Very pure and clean grainy, all malt, soft background, very pure lemony to lime, citrusy, slightly cardboardy - dusty classical German Pilsener aroma, very soft, gentle and inspiring. No skunkness despite the green bottle.
<b>Flavour: </b>Very nice upfront highly and essentially bitter and dry astringent hoppy front, later on in the clear aftertaste there are mineral, graphite, chalky and barley notes, almost something like grind barley grains, very citrusy, vitamine C, very natural, strong, highly aromatic hoppyness, perfectly brewed pilsener, unforgetable experience, really impressive. Finish duration is long and aromatic herbal hoppy.
<b>Palate: </b>Body is light, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is quite high, finish feel is chalky with notes of graphite and highly to heavy astringent, some minerality.
