Starts fairly malty then finishes with a slight pepper-hop bite. Smooth, crisp, clean.

looks and smells the part of a bavarian pilsners. Big malt with a real good dose of germanic hops. Thinnish.

Dry and crisp. A bit metallic, like sucking on a nickel. Fairly hoppy.

Nice fairly thick fluffy head. Straw body. Clean and fresh aroma with a whiff of typical pilsener hops. Flavor is light peppery hops. Fairly dry although I thought I might have detected esters.

Sweet, grassy aroma, pale yellow, big white fluffy head. Fine sweet malt flavour, followed by good bitterness. Well balanced, clean, crisp, refreshing, plenty of carbonation, very nice lace too. A darn good Pilsner!

pale yellow with thin but dense head. some full bready malt and good clean hop presence.

UPDATED: AUG 1, 2009 Can 500 ml
Appearance: pours ultra thick fine white top that is neatly contrasting with crystal gold beneath. Some lace noted. 4+
Nose: Fresh mildness yet with good hop bitter crispness , grassy with sweeter inside. Malty finish. Solid pils aroma. 7+
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied with slightly lighter follow up. Good bitter hop character , hint of cookie dough with grassy bit dry sides. Crisp and refreshing with short shown of softer malt on top. Late slight alcoholic touches. Solid upper class pilsner . Underrated by many. Make sure its fresh as I had in past older samples that were just average.

Light golden color with a medium white head. Noble hop aroma. this one has, like many imports mellowed over the past few years. Still a decent balance of malt with a light citric tart dry finish.

Not bad, nice, I thought it was kina light but it was still very welcoming. Talk is cheep, the more time you spend talking the less time you have to think about what the fuck your talking about. So the more you talk the less drinks you can consume. Theres a time and place for everything, so take it away from me. And dont tell me you dont like the look on my face.

Some kind of faint, weird, perfumy smell. Taste is different for a pilsener--dry hop flavor hits you before everything else, and then there is a smooth finish. After drinking a Jever before this one, I find it a tad sweeter. Had this one brought back from Deutschland via a German friend. Good stuff.
