500ml can from the LCBO. very few redeeming qualities but not terribly offensive. wont buy again.

Bottle. Not a bad pilsner from Austria. Great golden colour with nice, but quick dissapearing white head. Good traces of malt, and a light bitterness at the end.

Draught in the hotel in Badgastein. Pale gold mettalic flavour. Head disappeared rapidly. Taste is discernably beer, and the impression is of ersatz Stella: proof, if required, that even great brewing nations have a lowest common denominator.

Pale straw color on pour from 500ml can, little head noticed. Some woody floral note to it, a most uninspiring brew, little taste noticed at all, has a flat feel to it. I am disappointed expected more somehow, oh well supposedly premium quality on the can, but not a premium experience.

500 ml can. As Kaiser Bier. 5.3%. Brewed in Hungary by Heineken Hungária. Budapest, Hungary.
Clear pale golden colour with small white head. Mild grainy malty aroma. Flavour is sweet caramel malt and bitterish grassy hops. Bitterness is not that flattering. Gets quite unpleasant.

500ml. The cheapest import on the shelf. Pours a pale straw, with a white head. Aroma is sweet watery malt, with some apple, and woody notes. Taste is watery malt, mineral notes, with some light metallic hops, and some woody notes in the finish.

starts off with a bad smell and follows through with a taste distinctly like a kick in the junk. a perfect example of an overrated european beer, even at 31%. tall can in toronto.

50 cL can from the LCBO courtesy of Susan and Kennedy, served in a lager glass. Pours clear pale yellow with a moderate white head. The head fades quickly to a thin remnant and leaves a small amount of fine lace. The nose has notes of grass, grain and pale malts along with noble hops. The flavour is dry with a moderate bitterness throughout. There is a fair bit of grain up front and it becomes quite bitter in the finish. The finish lingers with a continental hop bitterness. On the palate, it is light in body with a dry texture and soft carbonation. Overall, there is nothing special here; it is a rather harsh Pilsener with simple malts and disappointing hops. 2011-09-07
