Classic is right. Pours a straw color with some carbonation and almost no head. Nose is salty , grassy, sour, and a tad but skunky. Taste is salty and super bitter. Very tradition but somewhat hard to drink because of the excessive bitterness.

(German) Pours a nice pale golden color with a dissipating white head. Aroma of grass with a hint of banana. Taste is clean with a malty flavor, there is some bitterness to the finish. Not bad, but much of the same when it comes to pilseners.

Draught@Kaisla, Helsinki. Golden color, low white head. A fairly straight-forward pilsener that doesn’t do anything wrong but isn’t great either.
