500mL can: Very grainy aroma with sharp hops. Carbonated, Yellow gold body and thick, frothy white head (very appealing). Flavor is sharp and very bitter with a very subdued malt character and tends to get dryer as the beer warms, leaving a bitter aftertaste behind for many minutes to come. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry and refreshing. Where was this stuff when I was at the festhallen this Oktoberfest? Must’ve missed it...

Bottle. Poured a sparkling yellow with a medium body and thin white head which quickly disappears. Nice bitterness and long lasting on the palette.

essa Classic German Pilsener é exatamente o que poderia se esperar do estilo. Năo surpreende, mas também năo decepciona. Sua espuma, alva, tem aparęncia inicial média e reduzida longevidade. Seu corpo amarelo-claro e borbulhante, de médias partículas e densidade rala demonstra também boa formaçăo de colarinho. Seu aroma traz notas de păo claro, presença moderada de lúpulo e toques de mel. Na boca, um sabor inicial levemente doce e amargo com nuances de mel, sensaçăo esta última que permanece até o final em um ligeiro crescente, cuja duraçăo é curta. O paladar é saudado com um corpo leve, de textura aguada, forte carbonataçăo e final de sensaçăo metálica.

12oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is grain/husky, saaz hops. Taste is grain/husky-caramel, saaz hops with metallic/herbal that seems a bit off. Sharpness of a Czech. Dry finish. Thanks jwc215 for picking this out.

Bottle. Pours a straw yellow body with a white head. Dry dull german pils, bready, light floral hoppiness.

Clear goldblond coloured beer with small white head and medium carbonation. Herby aroma. Full little sparkling palate. Finish is bitter, like pomelo.
