A yellow beer with a thick but quite fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet and malty - very simple. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of flowery hops and caramel, leading to a very slightly bitter end - I find it very ordenary.

Clear yellow gold, heavily carbonated to a dense, yellowish, collapsing head. Typically straw- or grasslike malt and fresh, dry German hopsnose; "herb". Quite dry, hoppy pils, with a rather abrupt end, leaving only the long hopbitterness lingering on. Extremely dry Pilsener; light to medium bodied. Impressive Pilsener. Only a freshly tapped "Ungespundetes" can vie with this in Ol’ Allemania.

Slightly malty, chalky aroma. Malty, slight hopbitter flavor with a hint of orange and boiled milk. Light bitter aftertaste. Average.

Bottle
Hazy pale golden, fluffy white head. Aromatic and spicy hop aroma. Lightfooted, sparkly mouthfeel. Sufficiently solid maltwise. Quite nice dry grassy hop profile with a bit aromatic play. Wellcrafted pils.

Bottled:
Pale golden color, foamy white head. Grainy, light malty nose with hop aroma. Light grainy/malty flavor, first light sweet, then light to medium bitter. Quite astringent. Dry, bitter finish. Nice .

(bottle, from pivnizub) Pale golden colour with a foamy white medium head with beautiful lacing. Herbal hoppy aroma with a balanced and moderately sweet malty and grainy note and fresh hay. Rather bitter flavoured, medium bodied, smooth carbonated mouthfeel. Aromatic malty body with a hops accented taste, slightly grainy palate; medium dry and moderately bitter and herbal hoppy finish with light flowery notes in the aftertaste. Top quality Pils.

Bottle: Pale golden coloured, rocky, fluffy white head, quickly diminishing,; sweet-malty nose with a hoppy touch, sweet-bitter flavour; mild, bitter-aromatic-sweet finish. Decent bavarian, not too slim Pils............

UPDATED: JUN 26, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Straw-golden with a small yet definately existing head. Extremely lovely hop-aroma from high-quality aroma-hops. Also a pronounced bitterness. Quality pils. 050405

Bottle, from shop at Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof. Gold, thin white head and moderate condition. Low malt and gentle hop in the nose, much the same in the mouth with some sweetness developing. Noticable hop bitterness developing in the otherwise sweet malty finish.

Bottled. Pale golden with rich, dense head. Bready and grassy, dry and soft. Pleasantly deep malt character leading to lingering grassy bitterness. A delightful pilsener!
