500ml bottle at Ship & Mitre April Fest 08. Gold with lasting off white head. A little bready, but good in the mouth, some lemon, hop, carbonation tingle on finish. Bit metallic, some lemon and lime. Fine pilsner.

Appearance: Pours a clear, golden, bubbly body with a small, white head. Smell: Pale, cereal-scented maltiness with some spicy, Noble-type hops. Tiny trace of sulfur, too. Taste: Pale malts with a standard cereal sweetness. Very, very slight breadiness. Spicy, floral hops with a medium bittneress. Grassiness on the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: OK at best, but, let’s face it, there are better pilseners to be had!

Fairly smooth and easy drinking. Slight hoppy bitterness in flavor which coats the tounge in a pleasing way thats hard to describe. Clear golden in color with a thin head. Slight malty aroma which turns to an aroma of freshly toasted bread as the glass warms. Overall this isn’t too bad of a beer, but I have to agree with wyzzywyz22, I’d probably get bored quickly after drinking a few.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Golden colour, thin white head. Soft malt and grassy hop aroma with some malt. Fairly crisp n’ dry, but this style is not something I could drink a huge amount of without getting bored pretty quickly. Not bad barby glagging fodder I suppose.

Draught @ Gasthof Mattlerhof
Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lancing, fully lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, fruity, light hoppy, flowers, buttery notes. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (260508)
