25cl bottle from Denmark. Pours a clear yellow with a tiny bit of orange haze but overall fairly clear and a 2 finger whitish head that quickly diminished. Doesn’t smell of much except for a bit of hops & hint of grass. Tastes light a lager/pilsner with a bit of hops and light fruit/citrus notes, but nothing overwhelming or powerful. Goes down relatively smooth with little carbonation and slightly dry. Overall is alright and better than the standard lagers on offer on airplanes, but nothing to go search for in the shops.

25 cl. Bottle. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Clear yellow color. Aroma of grass, floral, grain and mild citrus like notes. Light bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Light sweet and bitter flavor in balance. Light grassy dry and mild sweet finish.

Bottle. Aroma malt, wood and a hint of hops. From the name you would have expected some more. Clear yellow colour with high white head. Some hops in the flavour though mixed with fruits. Allright for a lager but not really interesting. Rather mild with virtually no aftertaste.

aroma is quite fruity banana/orange fruity with hops. appears clear golden with a large thick white head, flavor is much better than aroma, practically no fruits, but sweetness, hoppy floral notes and lots of bitterness. reminds me of a good pilsener, leans more towards pilsener than premium lager if you ask me, or the brewer who writes classical pilsener on the back of the label.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with a frothy white head. Fruity aroma with malts and hops. Medium mouthfeel. Fruity and bitter flavour that ends up malty and dry.

(Draught at Örsted Ölbar, Copenhagen, 26 July 2008) Golden yellow colour with brief, white head. Malty nose with grassy hops and a hint of toffee. Malty, fresh taste with notes of grassy hops, tropical fruit and a balanced bitterness in the finish. Balanced sweetness, medium body. Decent and fresh beer leaning slightly in the Bohemian pilsener direction.

Draught @ Ølfestival Aarhus 2008.
Clear light to medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lancing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, hay, light flowers, elderberry flowers. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (180508)

Bottle in Copenhagen. Golden in colour with little opaqueness. More fruity than I would prefer in a lager.

Draft at Cockney Pub. Spare white head, clear golden body. Aroma of soap and pine cone. Medium oily body, average carbonation. Medium sweet and only very light bitter. Boring pilsner like beer.

Amber coloured with a small white head. Light malty and moderate hoppy aroma. Flavour is wellbalanced with some lingering bitterness in the end.
