500 ml can. Clear blonde color, medium but diminishing white head with fair lacing. Good malt aroma with mild hops. Good malt flavor with weak hops. Bitter finish. Medium body, dry mouthfeel. A decent german pilsner, but I prefer bohemian pilsners by far.

A decent German Pils. Some bitterness but not too much so. Had it in German from the bottle, can and tap. I found the bottle to be the best. It does get too bitter when warmer though. Still it is refershing on a hot day, and it seems to be readily available throughout the world.

Grain, floral hops in the aroma. Clear, golden colour with white head that recedes to cover. Floral hops and cereal graininess in the flavour. Decent bitterness. Effervescent mouthfeel. Can (sampled at Mondial 2004).

Mondial de la Biere 2004. Golden colour with a thin white fizzy head. Grassy, toasty, and cereal aroma. Light toasty and cereal flavour with a faint bitter finish. Light bodied and dry. (5/3/5/3/10)
Re-Rate: First time I bought a beer that I forgot I had already rated. But my rating was almost identical, numbers wise. 500 ml can. Hazy pale yellow colour with a fully diminishing frothy white head. Grassy and light honey aroma. Light toasty sweet start with a lingering perfumed bitter finish. Light bodied, crisp mouthfeel.

Canned - 500ml. Nice golden body with a thin but dense and lasting foamy head. Malty and bready aroma with some light fruity (citrus) notes. Balanced hoppy taste with a dry and bitter final. Quite decent german pilsner.

Light golden colour with a slight greenish hue and a small white head. Mild bready & grassy aroma. Medium body. Well balanced but fairly non-descript flavour with some metallic notes in the finish.

Bottled
Lager color, very small white head. Slightly skunked hoppy aroma. Malty, hoppy, with sweet tones. Medium-bodied, good pilsener with bitter finish. (5/2/7/3/10 2.7)
Re-rate, bottled (BB 06/2006)
Golden color, quickly vanishing white head. Mild plastic hop aroma. Fruity, sweet malts and weak bitterness in aftertaste. Quite boring pilsener, a bit like Budvar. (3/2/4/2/8 1.9)
