Great beer, a sharp, slightly hoppy pilsner that I enjoy, even though half the bottles I get are skunked. Why green bottles? Grr...

Salty nose. Tasted like a mild ham and egg sandwich for some reason. Second and third tastes proved the same. Impressed with this beer that tastes like food. Medium carbonation with a short head. Copper-gold color. Sweet ’apple juice-like’ finish.

Too long ago to remember much about this beer. I do remember that it is good.

When it’s fresh, it’s clean, nicely hopped with a pleasing bitterness.

I don’t care for whatever standing it has among ’beer critics,’ this was bad. Perhaps the batch I had was skunky. But I’m not willing to give it a second shot. There are too many beers in the world to pass up, instead.

The best pilsner I’ve had when not skunky. I bought it in an enclosed 12-pack, maybe that helped. That’s the only way I’ll buy it.

simply a good beer nothing bad sticks out about it

Overall this beer is nicely refreshing. Lightly hopped flavor balancing very well with the malt flavor. Nice summer beer.

In good shape this is still a world class beer, too bad so many 6 packs here in the states sit under florecent lights or collecting dust getting skunky and stale. Bitter and refreshing with fine lace.

You know, I’ve never had a good time with this stuff and because of all the brouha I’ve given it a decent shot. It just seems kind of meager, a bit sour, and unclean even.
