0,5 l fles. Mooi schuim. Verder goed bier en eigenlijk niets gemerkt dat het een dieet-bier is.

Bottled. Pale golden colour. Not much of a head. Grainy, slightly hoppy nose. Grainy, bland taste with a medoum hoppy finish. A little sour. Not very good, but okay for a diät-beer, though nowhere near as good as Paulaner Diät, the epitome of diabetics´ beers.

Hoppy pilsener. Faint aroma but taste has a snappy, tangy character. Appearance is normal for the style, mouthfeel leans to watery. Nothing spectacular here, but if you like bitter beers, this may be to your liking.

Fresh and nice. (This beer rating was imported from FB and unfortunately lacks any further comments.)

Golden blonde, small head, fine bubbles. Aroma is like a pilsner, grains, some malts. Smooth taste, slightly bitter, not sweet at all, that’s a plus point for me.

Clear golden color with small head. Aroma is grain, malt. Flavor is malt, some grassy hops.

330 ml bottle, bought in Germany. Poured into a footed pilsner glass, ABV 4.8%. I poured it while scratching my head as to why they are mentioning 12% less alcohol than a "normal" pilsner when most of the german beers are less than 5% alcohol, so actually it has the same alcohol as any other german pilsner. The rest, about less calories and such, I couldn’t care less since I posses the power of drinking without getting any weight. Back to the beer, it has a slighty pae golden yellow colour on the body, with a bit more than one finger of white, soapy head on top. Nice activity in the glass. Head has a good retention and it leaves some light lacing on the glass. Bad aroma of dirty hay and rubber. Taste is not that bad on the other hand. Nothing extra ordinary, a usual pilsner taste, some malts, a bit of apples and mildly bitter on the aftertaste, it is quite pleasantly drinkable. Medium thin body, carbonation above average. Nice dryness on the palate. Overall, not that bad, if they could only do something about the aroma.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought in Germany. Pale yellow with a small white head. typical grainy pilsener aroma with some sugar. Medium hoppy bitterness. Decent enough pilsener regardless the diet label.

(Flasche) Es hat eine goldgelbe Farbe, ist klat filtriert mit einer weißen Schaumkrone. Das Aroma ist karamellig, lichtgeschmack und grüner Hopfen. Der Geschmack ist wie das Aroma mit einem bisschen Pappe und ohne Bittere.

.33l bottle. very basic beer. nothing special. clear golden color with a big white head and nice lacing. Smell of hops and grass. taste is very hoppy and watery. still refreshing. not a horrible drink.
