unfortunately it was an old bottle. IT was grainy and oxidized with little head, unfortunate because it is probably good fresh. I would be wary of American reviews.

Bottle. Golden with quite durable head. Light malty-hoppy aroma with some honey. Fresh malty-hoppy taste with a medium bitterness. What makes it standout is its perfect balance, great pilsener.

Pours a clear golden range color with yellow hues and a two finger frothy white head that slowly fades into a thin, lasting ring. Spots of soapy lacing left behind. Earthy aroma with grassy hops along with some oak and buttery diacetyl presence which is really unpleasant. Lots of pale malts underneath with hints of light fruit. Medium bodied with a very unpleasant combination of flavors. There’s some faint grassy hops and a very strong cider/apple flavor that is extremely unpleasant. The diacetyl presence from the aroma is also prominent with some of the oak character as well. There’s a lot going on here and none of it is good. Drain pour.

Danke an MoritzF. Dunkler getreidiger Geruch. Leicht getreidiger Antrunk mit dezent herben Noten, auch eine leichte Hopfigkeit kommt ab und an durch. Später zeigt sich eine deutliche Grasigkeit, die auch im weiteren Verlauf nicht mehr weichern will. Unterstützt wird sie von kurzweiliger Trockenheit, im Nachgeschmack von halbherziger Bitterkeit. Ein Pils, dass sich von anderen seiner Art unterscheidet, ob nun positiv oder negativ, sei dahingestellt. Test vom 21.7.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,8,8,6,7,7 - 7,05

500ml bottle swing top lid thanks to Erzengel. I love the artwork on these bottles. Clear pale gold colour with thick white head. Slight woody hop aroma. Clean beer. Oh so clean. With some delightful lemon. Little bit of cereal on the aroma. Little bit of lemon. It’s an ok pils, quite tasty and with some tangy lemon on the finish and some biting hop. No off flavours at all and very clean. Just a touch woody?? Decent light pils

Pale gold/yellow with a thin head. Spiciness in the aroma is really nice. Sweet upfront honey flavours tempered with the hop spiciness with some citrus in the back. Really light body but a long lingering aftertaste with enough bitterness to keep it balanced and wanting another sip. I like it, it’s good.

Bottle 500 ml. Aroma: cereal, alcohol, sweet. Ok head, ok bitterness. Thin body. Ok pilsner.

Spicy floral hop aroma with a very light amount of grain. Hazy golden color with a small white head. Light sour cardboard malts throughout. Light sticky palate.
