COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottom fermented pilsner style beer. Very elegant, pale in color, dry and hoppy. Its crisp clean taste is due to the extra fine Bavarian hops.

From a 12 oz. narrow neck green bottle with a bottled/freshness date in the lower left corner of front label. Made a good appearance, poured a clear pale golden with a large foamy, semi-clingy, white head that settled into a thin bubbly lacing, good carbonation. Had a lemon grassy hop nose with a pale biscuity malt background. A dry, crisp light bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Dry, crisp lemon grassy/hay-ish hop bitterness upfront, an underlining biscuity maltiness and a dry, pale grainy malt finish. A very nice Pilsener, tasty and very quaffable.

Pours light gold out of the 25oz bottle, with a pretty 2-finger head that dimishes fairly quickly. Some decent lacing that hangs aound for a bit. Nice bubbles that tickle the tongue. A malty aroma with the slightest bit of indeterminable spice in there as well. Fizzy mouthfeel. Tastes sweet and a little flowery. I also got the metallic taste that has been cited by other reviewers, but very slight. Finishes dry but with a prolonged sweetness in the aftertaste.

Very pale gold with a thin white head and lots of bubbles. Mildly hoppy aroma with a dry light hop taste and the afore=mentioned bubbles that tingle your tongue and a very little bit of bitterness in the aftertaste.

I tried this at Rich O’s Public House in New Albany when my friend order a Miller Lite, and was told that they did not carry such brands. The tarbender gave him this instead, and he declared that it was almost as good. Poor Sam. He was taken aback when the floow shot him such a look. I was scared also. Wish we could get this in MB.

OOMPA! This offering pours crisp, clean and golden with a two finger white head...just the thing so far. Aroma is floral/spice. It is a fine brew tasting ofbalanced malt and some floral sweetness with a dry hop finish. So fine, imagine it fresh rather than imported in the bottle.

A light golden yellow beer with a strong white head. A sweet, floral hop aroma with a hint of ripened fruit. The taste is again of a floral hop sweetness, but there is a dryness to the finish. The fruitiness of apples and some citrus fruits come through with a final hint of spice.

A tastey German Pils. Very crisp and drinkable, this beer pours a lovely golden hue, has a nice musty grain aroma and a hint of citrus on the nose. The hop bitterness is classy, coming on with softly and departing with a clean finish. One of the better session pilsners.
