Into the glass, a strong golden yellow beer pours with coarsely porous foam. Smells strong hoppy, very spicy. Starts very hoppy bitter, bitter but not excessive. The center part remains constant hoppy-bitter, very recent. In the finish, the beer is very hoppy bitter, with a medicinal, herb-like flavor, which disturbs the whole thing a little.

Bottle Pours clear golden with a medium white head. The aroma is hay, straw, caramel and hops. The flavour is hay, straw, caramel, fruit and hops.

500 ml bottle in Germany at home thanks to shrubber85. Pours a clear gold color with medium white head. Aroma is hops malt and some smoke. Taste is kind of strange, some glue and malt I think. Palate is bland wallpaper paste. It is not a bad beer but it just tastes funny.

Found a mix-pack of these beers at Penny. 500ml bottle MHB: 16.11.11. It pours a standard Pils gold with a foamy white head that leaves some pretty nice lacing. The smell is sharp and herbal, with a bit of dankiness and some alcoholic fruitiness. A light bready malt presence rounds it out. The flavor is pleasant enough. The malt is rather thin, producing a bit of watery bread taste with a hint of sweetness and a hint of daicetyl in the inish. But the hops are ample, in the North-German style, with plenty of herbal bitterness, though not a huge ton. It will probably satisfy a lot of American palates, to me though it is just barely above average.

Clear yellow pour with medium white head. Aroma of hay, grains and a bit of sweet malt. Taste is somewhat bitter noble hops, bread, grass. OK Pilsener.

Pours straw yellow with medium, crisp white head. Predictable aroma and flavour; not bad, just average.

Flaske 50 cl. Gylden hælde med et varende hvid hoved. Aroma og humle, smagen er let sød af malt og humle. Tør mundfornemmelse og afslutning.

Bottle courtesy of steptin - thanks! Golden color, thin white head. Aroma of lemon and straw. Taste is smooth, bitter throughout, with odd chocolate finish, never tasted a finish like that before. Nothing to compare.
