Medium bubbly head on light gold pils,medium carbonation.Aroma grain,fresh malt.Flavour crisp corntaste,malt good,hop backing also fair,light bitter.For a diet pils very good flavour.Finish crisp.

(bottle) pours a clear golden-yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of dark fruit, sugar and bubble-gum, with a hint of pale malts, too sweet. flavour is heavy caramel and faint herbal hops, with notes of earth, pepper and heavy bubble-gum. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

No nose to speak of, yellow color, thin head. Extreme, knife-like sharp on the middle of the tongue at the finish, but not in a good way. Balance way off. Thin. Odd.

It was soapy. Smelled light, sweet parfume like. Not really my taste.

grass, vanilla, cereal, golden, clear, rocky head, white foam, light sweetness, very bitter, medium sourness, medium body, creamy, bitter, long finish,

The head is robust, the body golden. It smells bitter a bit hay. The taste is hay, hoppy. Specialy in the aftertaste bitter. Medium 11/8/8/9/10/9

Pale yellow color, minimal head. Little body with skunk aromas and watery texture, some non-alcoholic beer taste, unpleasant grassy hopand fruits, dry aftertaste. In my opinion the diat beers are a separetad beer-style because of technologies, but this is a bad version of the style...

Bottle. Light golden, small and fully diminishing head. Light malty and lightly sweetish aroma, light grassy hoppyness. Body is light, malty and dryish flavor, light grassy hoppyness. Finish is short, malty and dryish, light hoppyness. Light and quite un-interesting.

Honestly the first Diät-Pilsner I’ve tried. Haven’t missed much, the fact it is intended for persons with diabetes is a good thing but leaves everyone else scratching their head at the lack of pizazz flavour-wise.
From the bottle into a flute glass. A soapy white lather managed to form after a vigorous pour - a wafer thin, drabby mess - atop its tight, finely carbonated, bright, medium gold body. Wisps of fluffy grains on the nose like puffed wheat and barley. Sadly, edges of boiled cabbage water and wet cat ail it and can’t be ignored, tainting it for the length as it was stretched for taste. Thin, crisp and dry is the palate. Light showing of grains mid to late seems pasty in feel. Slight herbal tang late also, not much bitterness to save it. Clean, crisp swallow, subtle dustiness in the afterglow. That’s pretty much it. Clean tasting over attenuated lager, quite off on the nose. Bland overall!!! (33cL, 10/10/07, The Beer Store Morley)

02/03 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with smaller head that went down soon. Stinks to egg and grain malt. Weak flavor, bittersweet stale malty with some strange sourish crude hop or maybe grainy flavor. Thinner in body with shorter sweetish finish. Boring, watery and quite bad beer.
