| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 29, 2009 Nice and crisp, but not quite what I was expecting. Yellow fizzy lager pour, with a solid nose of light malt and hops. Taste is refreshing with a nice hop bite on the finish. A little floral, although with that macro taste also in the finish. Decent. rosenbergh (1000), Helsinki, Finland

Clear pale golden yellow colour with white medium-size head. Malty aroma. Malty flavour with bitter hoppy notes. Almost 2 years after BBE and still kicking. Must be rated again with slightly fresher version though.
330 ml bottle. From Lübeck, Germany.
Clear pale golden colour with small white head. Malty and fresh grassy hoppy aroma with tiny hints of chocolate (?) and paper. Bitter grassy hoppy flavour with decent maltiness and hints of paper. It is at least decent German Pilsener. Shadallion (526), Sacramento, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 16, 2009 On tap at Toronado, 6-13-09. Super-excited to find this beer, have read about it and have longed for the "most bitter of lagers" and was not disappointed. The hops are IPA-bitter, this was almost salty! Wow! Not a whole lot of nose to speak of but it’s a lager who so big whoop. Clean after taste, light body. I would definitely rank this up there amongst the best pilsners. finol (528), Nacka (Stockholm), Sweden
