Trumer Pils

300ml vom Fass shared with Eva at Krah Krah in the old town of Wien. Light straw under a lasting, white head. Discreet floral and fruity smell. Initial taste is rather sweet offset by lemon and hay. Light bitter and semi-dry ending. Crispy mouthfeel. Refreshing as a quite good pilsener should be (01.12.2007).

(this is from my notes as I drank this at a basketball game.) This beer pours a golden yellow with a good medioum white head leaving some good lacing down the sides. Aroma is light with hops that seem a little astringent. The flavor is not what I expect from a pilsner. But to me it wasn’t horrible. This is better than the plain domestics but really lacking for a pilsner. Cheers!

This is a strange beer to rate. I personally do not like the taste of it in a bottle, but I love it on tap. This is, of course, Stateside. In Europe, I enjoy it both in the bottle and especially on tap.

Nice gold color with little head. Sweet and grainy in the aroma. A little grass. Flavor is similar with a grainy sweetness with a crisp hoppy finish. Not exactly my favorite. It was boring and average.

(Draught) Sampled at Duck Island in Seattle, WA, on October 20, 2007. Served in a kolsch glass. Pours lasting thin white foamy head. Nose of wet grain and crisp hops. Flavour has a minor corn tongue. Not a bad pils at all.

Comments: More bitterness than expected from such an available beer. A fine quality vs. price offering.

aromatic nose reminds me of the other skunky and disappointing pilseners i’ve had, but it’s missing the funky snap to put it over the edge. great crisp flavor and snappy dry finish.

Draft. Body-honey body with a foamy head. Taste-honey, light husk, light perfume, slightly husky and dirty medium sweetness, barky, light malt. Basically a sweet, perfumey pilsner. No big woop. Sweetness makes it lose points on palate. Nasty sickly aftertaste.
