33cl bottle; Slightly unclear, pale golden colour with a short foamy white head. Grassy and herbal hoppy nose with a light-sweet pale malty blend. Bitter flavour, light bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Well-rounded malty base with a dry herbal and minimal grassy hoppy finish. Not a highlight but a drinkable Pils. 26.XI.08

Tap, never had this in a bottle. If this is fresh it can be pretty good. A not quite into medium bodied pils that has a subtle, refined, fresh floral hop aroma and taste, along with the quality European type malt it is a good brew. A very mild sweetness, with a touch of tart and crisp. I like a decent pils and this one is into the do again circle for me.

Elegant green 330ml bottle from Salzburg Austria purchased at Dan Murphy’s. It is also brewed in California and I’ve tried that as well - the two versions are indistinguishable. It looks good when served in it’s signature cylindrical tall glass with a clear straw yellow body and a foamy white head that reduces after a few minutes to leave good lacing. The nose is grainy pilsner malts with grassy hops and a touch of citrus. The taste is restrained sweet malts with a soft citrus fruitiness and a nice crisp dry hop bitterness to the finish with a hint of minerals in the aftertaste. It is light-medium bodied with a lively carbonation and a slick texture. Nicely balanced flavours and immensely drinkable. Overall it is a refreshing understated uncomplicated German style pilsner providing good evidence that not all well made craft beers have to be blockbusters. It is even better on tap. Rather under-rated on this site in my opinion.

On tap at Mangia Pizza in Austin. Really glad this beer came to town, especially on draught. Very classic German Pils, a style I have begun to appreciate more and more after the initial love affair with English and Belgian styles. Crisp, clean, no DMS. Excellent beer.

Lovely light/pale yellow, crystal clear with fine head that left a lace on the glass. I get plenty of grass an light malt smells. Clean light flavour, nicely bitter with a fresh finish. Quite enjoyable.

Draught at s’Kloane Brauhaus, Salzburg. Clear pale golden, small head. Overt grassy nose. Dry, crisp, yet rounded. More hoppy than most Austrian beers with grassy bitter fnish. A streamlined but nice pilsener.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007 Floral aroma. White head. Clear golden coloured and hoppy with some dryness in a crisp malt finish.

A nice golden pour with good 1 inch head that lasts a few minutes. Good mineral and dry hop aroma that’s a little sweet and characteristic of a pils. Strong aroma for a pils. Decent malt and hops flavor that is well balanced. Light lacing. Great refresher on a hot day...
