(bottle) pours a clear golden-yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of floral hops and honey, slightly resinous, with a hint of hay and raisins. flavour is mostly the same, herbal hops and a light malt presence, slightly vegetal. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

#956 "Meine" Flasche sieht auch ganz anders aus; mit kleinem Understatement-Etikett in dunkelblau, durchaus gelungen. Das Bier selbst finde ich ziemlich mau: Helle Farbe mit wenig, grobporigen Bauschaum. In der Nase etwas grasig. Im Antrunk dann dünn und metallisch, kaum Hopfen wahrzunehmen. Eine muffige Note geht über in einen eher würzigen Abgang. Völlig untypisches Pils und als Bier überhaupt sehr unausgewogen. Angesichts der ganzen guten Testernoten erfolgt demnächst mal eine B-Probe. Den Slogan "Immer ein Genuss" kann ich nicht bestätigen! Test vom 29.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,6,5,10,7 - 6,80

Clear yellow with a decent white head. Grainy hoppy aroma and taste. A solid Pilsener.

Pours pale yellow clear body with white medium rocky head. Aromas include hops, malts, grains, dough. Palate is slick medium full-bodied, with smooth soft carbonation and mouth-feel. Taste is malty and with crispy dry hoppy finish. Aftertaste is medium long bitter, hoppy, with some herbal nuances. Overall a decent Pils although with mild but rounded character.

International Green Week, Berlin 2012: our second day and Hall 21b took us to Sachsen and Nordrhein-Westfalen where I was drawn to a brewery bar selling this beer. 0.3 Litre poured into a lovely glass: light golden body, regular brightness and clarity expected from a good German Pilsner, snow white head on top. The head stayed and produced some good, thick lacing. Hints of hops and malts in the nose; not much, but more than normal for a Pilsner. The refreshing taste had just about the right feel of flavours: hop bitterness and a mild malt sweetness blended together nicely to give a thirst quenching beer. This was one of the best Pilsners I had during my two days at Green Week (I had plenty, believe me).

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas absolut Pilstypisch. Goldgelbe Farbe, schöne fein-mittelporige, große und standhafte Krone, sehr viel CO2, das empor steigt. Geruchlich in der Tat sehr würzig, leicht hopfig. Der Antrunk fällt ebenfalls sehr würzig und leicht malzig aus. Der Hopfen kommt prima im Nachgeschmack durch. Wirkt sehr gut ausgewogen. Könnte lediglich nen Tick süffiger sein…

Single bottle purchased from a Netto Market in Altenberg, Germany on 12/05/2011. Colour: Medium yellow with consistent white frosting. Nose: Vanilla cookies, metallic tin, corn, fertilizer. Taste: Light sweet, medium-light bitter, medium-light sour. Light malt, a spot of rosemary, and more vanilla. Generally light.

Bottle, MHD 01.03.12. Nose is sweet and malty, pours a clear dark yellow with a sudsy bright white head. Bittersweet with a little bread and a little more metal, low bitterness but the hop attack isn’t particularly enjoyable. Lightly acidic medium body and a bit of alcohol showing. Aftertaste is musty.

Draught. Light golden with a medium lasting head. Aroma of malt and grassy hop. Flavour is medium bitter hop with an oily texture. Palate is long lingering bitter

Getreidig-hopfiger Antrunk, hier ist eindeutig der Hopfenextrakt erschmeckbar. Billig hopfig im Mittelteil, leicht würzig, im hinteren Teil muffig. Kein wirklich gutes Pils. 8/7/7/6/8/6
