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.

Yellow color, spritzy, with a faintly hoppy aroma. Mostly flowery hops and some hay, but also a bit watery. Crisp and smooth, but undistinguished. Long, bitter aftertaste.

Has a lovely foamy head, a nice hoppy flavor, and a wonderfully smooth palate. The journey to America has taken its toll, leaving it with a bitter aftertaste and a sour aroma. Perhaps one day I will be able to try it fresh.

I had this a week ago in Munich and bought a bottle as soon as I returned to Alaska. This beer is certainly more skunked and the character is noticably different, but still delicioius. Malty smell, good hop aroma. More bitter than fresh version, but clean and delicious.

Nice pils. Simple, but tasty. Very pale and has excellent hops. It really feels on your tongue, but leaves a lgiht crips flavor. Worth drinking again.

Bottle. Very nice fizzy golden yellow body and long lasting white head. Nice aroma, slightly perfumed. Very pleasing pilsner aftertaste. Recommended.

frankenkitty (1953) - Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA - SEP 2, 2005
Big-white over clear-golden, with a head that ended scummy. Perfumed aromas with grasses, taffy and roasted malt. Dry & creamy mouthfeel with herbal bitterness following light sweetness. Slight metallics in the finish. Big "mown wet grass" and roasted nuts in aftertaste.

bottle-well well, this will be my last rating as an NM citizen. I purchased this beer at a organic store that just opened a few months ago near my apartment. they have a decent beer selection. I saw this one knowing that i have never had it, so i thought i would make this my last rating while being an NM citizen. pours about as pale as you can get with a soapy white head and sparse lacing. grainy, sweet, aroma with some faint notes of hops in there. kinda smells like a grainy cereal. flavors are light, sweet, crisp and very simple with some subtle grainy notes. I compared this to SN summerfest and i must say, SN did a good job with that lager. simple beer here that is straight forward and refreshing. SO long New Mexico........

Bottled. Clear yellow with a white head. Slightly phenolic aroma with some banana. Malty flavor with a slight hop flavor. Sharp aftertaste.
