Bottle. Golden with a small head. Aromas are grain with grassy notes and citrus. Flavours are grain with light floral notes and dry hops. Simple.

There’s nothing wrong with this beer, but nothing much right either. I had it bottled in Vienna, and it went ok with my chicken, but not much esle can be said for it. A bit thin, malty and a touch of hops...nothing to write home about.

On tap at the Magpie & Crown, Brentford. Bright gold with a white head and a malty aroma. Firm palate and flavoursome, rich & malty. Decent pilsner.

Pours pale golden with a frothy white head. Aroma of butter and hay. Nice mouthfeel, but there is to much butter in the flavour - som hops and citric notes.

Tap @ the Hundertwasser café, Vienna.
Pours clear, lightly pale golden with a medium, frothy, white head. Aroma has lots of butterscotch and a slight herbal hoppiness. Okay mouthfeel. Flavour is not too good, butter again and very citric. Short malty finish.

Overall, not bad. Pale brown lager with a medium white head. Found it a bit flat and slightly overcarbonated. Malts are tastable, but not a major part of the beers flavour. Most of the taste comes from hints of grass, flowers, and a bit of skunky grain. Overall, this is a pretty good beer which is easy to drink.

Bottle. Pale lager type appearance with a head flatter than a witches tit. Dark malts, dry and hoppy. Not that outstanding in any way.

Bottle from World Market in Davis, CA. Pours a pale golden color with a white head that disappered almost immediately. Grassy and grainy to the nose. Tasted of bitter hops that were a little rough on the palate. Not good unless you love the style.
