2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 probstblueribbon (2378) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 4, 2009
33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Clear bright golden with remnants of a white head.
Aroma: Some nice malt and Saaz aromas, also some meaty / cat food going on, sweeter and fruitier than expected, celery leaves and grass, an odd mustiness; this is one eclectic and idiosyncratic nose...
Palate: Medium body, very smooth, low carbonation.
Flav.: A confusing array of flavours including dusty tropical fruit, some lightly peppery/grassy/vegetal hops, more dust and must, biscuit, an odd ester flavour, some other malts; lightly sweet and somewhat bitter with a lightly fruity and biscuity finish.
This is anything but a straight-forward pils. I’m not sure I like what it’s doing.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 SaintMatty (3600) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - APR 17, 2009
330ml Bottle (Thanks Gnoff) - Floral and moderately hoppy aroma with hints of tea and honey. Lightly hoppy taste with tea and some hints of citrus. The finish is moderately bitter. More like a golden ale than a pils, but fairly tasty and drinkable.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Sammy (7035) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 21, 2009
Thanks Phys21ca! I wanted to try this pils at some time. It is rather ordinary. A bit of cheesy aroma, OK mouthfeel and looks for a Pils, I think some Saaz hop, but rather low on taste. Not finishable.
