(PresticE or PresticA? http://www.pint.nl/nedbier/brouwerij.htm lists both, describing PresticE as a 5% amber, the PresticA as a 5% pils. My label reads PresticE very clearly, and as clearly says it is a luxus pils... So, unless the brewery says otherwise, I considered them to be identical)
Good white head, fed by lively carbonation; deep-golden colour with greenish shine, some haze. Grainy nose, bit grassy, garden herbs. Quite bitter taste, herbal bitter rather than hoppy, but quite refined. Dry character, virtually no restsweetness. So dry it has virtually no refreshing properties left. Light to medium bodied all the same, powdery texture. Surprising pilsener. At least, it’s original. Hence, good marks
