2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 BeerBlockaid (679) - Jacksonville, Florida, USA - APR 9, 2010
Bottle in Salzburg, Austria. Saw the brewery. Huge this thing. Got four new rock-sized cask outside. Pours a straw color with a slight haze. Lazy head. Nose is crisp and fizzy, slight bitter and with lots of grain and wild grass. Taste is crisp, just slightly bitter. Citric notes play around with faint floral hopes. Slightly herbal, slightly astringent. Not bad.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Frank (1964) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 2, 2010
Clear straw yellow, foamy head of large bubbles. Floral hops in the nose as well as some grain husk and an unfortunate metallic twinge. Flavor is similarly floral and I would say that particular hop character is the best thing about this beer. Dry w/ only the faintest grainy sweetness balanced by a crisp hop bitterness. Light bodied but not thin tasting. Not exactly sublime but a nice pils w/ good hop character.
