On tap at the fourth „Bier aus dem Norden“ brewery presentation in Hamburg. Malty smell, a little bit sour. Large white creamy-foamy head, dark yellow body. Light bitter taste, normal duration. Medium body, light creamy with normal carbonation.

Take-away from the brewery. Hazy gold with a lacy white head and aromas of peppery hops and candied banana. Crisp and hoppy, again with peppery and buttery fruit notes. Quite full bodied for a pilsner, almost like a cross between Pils and a Weizen.

Tap at the brewpub. It is hazy, yellow-golden with a creamy head. The aroma has malty, but quite sour (like in a starting infection). The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of malt, light butterscotch and refreshing citrus.

Draught @ Mälzer Brau- und Tafelhaus, Heiligengeiststr. 43, D-21335 Lüneburg, Niedersachsen, Germany.
Unclear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted. sweet sweet malt, moderate toffee, butter notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average duration and a dry finish. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20081215]

Draught. Deep golden coloured. Malty aroma. Sweet and malty flavour with aromatic hops. Quite bitter finish. Smooth and well balanced.

Draught. Light golden, slightly cloudy colour. Refreshing citrusy aroma. Flavour is also refreshing with a hint of citrus and orange juice. Not very bitter.

Tap at the bräuhaus. Golden colour with a big white head. Light sweet hoppy aroma and a sweet malty taste with some hops in the end. Medium body and a dry bitter finish.

Not as good as their Doppelbock. Citrus, hops and sulphury aroma. Hazy orange body with a little layer of head. Medium bitter taste with a strange aftertaste.

This has an interesting cloudy blond color to it, almost like Hoegaarden, though it is a pilsener. (I thought part of being called a ’pilsener’ was that it is clear - why is this a pils then?). I had this on location only a few meters from where it was brewed. My sample was smooth and fresh. Light bodied, this stuff goes down quick. There is a gritty malt taste followed by a delightfull hop zing. Maybe not so well-balanced overall, but a decent brew. Great location in a neat Northern German town.
