Aroma of malt and lemony hops. Taste has a nice light bitterness and citrus palate. A bit of metallic taste in the finish. Not nearly as hoppy as my favorite pilseners, but still refreshing.

BigBeer45 (588), Troy, Michigan, USA Oct 24, 2008 Updated: Oct 27, 2008500ml bottle, pours a clear straw gold with some effervescence, the pour turns hazy from sediment that is in the bottle, has a small white head that falls quickly, aroma of pilsner malt, bread and some malt sweetness, small citrus and faint grass fragrances, light flavor of pilsner malt and bread with a good bitterness and sour on the tongue, bitterness lingers a bit after the finish, more bitterness and citrus sour then I expected, has a medium mouth feel or a bit less, medium carbonation, not sure how fresh this sample is, it does not taste off but I wonder what a sample from the tap would taste like. jfb (324), Germany Sep 14, 2008 (bottle) lightly hazy, pale greenish-yellow colour, tall white head. aroma is standard pale malts and light hops, with a distracting whiff of buttered corn. favour is very distinct, with a grainy, fresh malty taste, light hops, yeast. dy, light bitter finish, medium carbonation and body. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Aug 10, 2008 Updated: Aug 17, 2008(Bottle). Judging from other reviews here, I must have sampled a non-fresh bottle. Mine was only a faint shadow of a good pils. There was some breadiness and some bitter hops, but they had to be searched for, and the overall impression was simply dull and flat. Hopefully, I’ll have the chance to update in the future with a fresh sample. 3-3-3-2-5 = 1.6
[Re-Rate] Tried a different bottle, which confirmed my suspicion that the original sample was well past its prime. This time I experienced a creditable Pilsenser, with appropriate malt, yeastiness, and a nice hops finish. Much better! 6-3-6-3-13 = 3.1
DSG (1330), Tel Aviv, Israel Aug 9, 2008 (6/31/08) Bottle at the brewpub in Bamberg. Clear yellow-golden with a white head. Aroma has some pale malt and some decent hoppiness. Flavor has some light malt sweetness but is mostly quite dry and hoppy and maybe slightly herbal. Medium-bodied. A decent Pils. Maria (5494), Thisted, Denmark Aug 1, 2008 Golden with a huge, nice head. The aroma has notes of malt, flower and straw. The flavour has a light sweetness, smooth notes of malt, light caramel, flower and straw. The finish is citrussy. It’s incredibly well balanced and delicious, smooth and mild with a lot of nice details. I could drink a lot of this one.
