Bottle from Getränkeland, Hvidovre. Clear golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt and hops with grassy notes.

50 cl. bottle @ home. Straw yellow colour with a white head. Strong grassy hoppy aroma. Good strong pilsener taste. Round aftertaste with some hoppy bitterness. Nice pilsener.

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!
Sieht im Glas ganz hervorragend aus. Schöne mittelporige Blume, es prickelt herrlich, und das Bier besitzt ein gesundes Pils-gelb. Geruchlich kommts herb und recht würzig daher. Der Antrunk ist ebenso. Sehr herb und leicht würzig. Obwohl ich nicht der Freund vonn allzu herben Bieren bin schmeckt dieses doch sehr fein. Es ist angenehm rezent, nur könnte es etwas süffiger sein.

Swing top bottle. Light gold coloring with a bright white head. Nose of grain and celery. There is also some potato. The taste has some potatoes and a little hint of black pepper. There is also some bell pepper in the finish. Decent.

Bottle.Pale yellow colour with off-white head.Aroma is hoppy and malty with sweet aroma,good well balanced mouthfeels with light bitter nots and slight peppery finish.

Schönes Äußeres mit feinen co2-Schnüren im Glas. Hopfig-frischer Geruch. Auf der Zunge herb-würzig mit überraschender Malzigkeit, was für ein Pilsener eher untypisch ist. Dennoch nicht störend. Leider aber auch etwas undefinierbar im Geschmack, zwiespältig.Test vom 25.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche

pours medium dark golden, slight haze, with a small head, retention and lacing. caramel malts, cereals, oranges, light ot medium body, good carbonation. meh.

Bottle. Straw-golden with frothy head. Aroma not very intensive, mainly hoppy with some grainy malt, citrus and honey. Taste disappoints - instead of being full-blown one-dimensionally hoppy, as I had hoped, it is more watery-hoppy. Apart from some malt, nuts and honey in the background the part of the taste that is not watery is all hoppy (mainly herbal), whereas the bitter side of the beer disappoints as well, as it is only moderate. The hops is mainly in the aroma itself, not in the bitterness.

Wunderbar hopfig herber Antrunk, der aber Zeit zu heftig wird. Ansonsten kann ich mich nur der Kommentare der anderen anschließen. Test vom 25.2.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,6,5,7,7 - 6,65
