floydian1 (255), FNQ, Australia Apr 28, 2009 330ml bottle (expiry 6.09). A clear pale yellow beer with a dense transient white head. Nose is average bready sweet malt and not much else. Taste is similar with hardly any hop flavours to speak about (some dry grassiness in there). Bland abrupt neutral finish. Medium bodied with a thickish texture and fizzy mouthfeel. Like most things from the old GDR it just doesn’t match up. There are many better German pilsners to try. Papillon (172), Sudbury, Ontario, Canada Apr 26, 2009 500 mL Can. Clear straw body with a frothy white head that settles to a thin but very tenacious foamy layer lacing the sides of the glass generously. Aroma is sweet malt and grassy hops with notes of citrus, honey, and floral. Flavor is sweet malt with a note of honey, dry-bitter hops expressing in the aftertaste and lingering mildly in the finish. Gutes Bier! yayforbeer (641), Orange Park, Florida, USA Apr 18, 2009 Sample at Total Wine Beerfest, Jacksonville Fl 4-18-2009. Light malt and grassy hop aroma. No skunk.
