[bottle] Sweet hay aroma with some nice, very fresh base malt and pleasant noble hops. Clear straw appearance with a thin, white cover on top. Sweet base malt that is a touch soapy and sort of weak, but still gentle and with some herbal noble hops. Light body, medium carbonation, gentle bitter ending.

Lack of aroma keeps the score down for this beer although it is quite nice. Pours a clear light amber with a small head. The only bit of aroma I get is some caramel. The flavor has all of what you would expect of a good German Pilsner. Nice clean finish.

Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a two finger frothy white head that slowly settles into a lasting ring. Large streaks and chunks of soapy lacing left behind. Slightly earthy aroma with spicy hops, grass and straw countered by bready yeast, light fruit and pale malt. Some sticky pine needle followed by some apple, pear and pilsner malt. Medium bodied with a crisp, spicy hop bite that lingers over the sweeter notes and pale malts into a dry finish. A decent amount of dry, earthy bitterness that dominates the flavor. Hints of grass and straw countered by some light fruit, bread, biscuit and pilsner malt. There’s a subtle metallic presence that lingers after the finish hurting the drinkability a bit. A bit hopper than expected but pretty standard.

Bottle. Pale Yellow with a white head. Malty aroma. Hoppy and crisp flavor. Very refreshing. Good beer. Drinkable.

Bottle. Golden, small to average and fully diminishing head. Light to moderate, malty – grainy and lightly sweetish aroma, some grassy hoppyness. Body is medium, malty - grainy and lightly sweetish flavor, some grassy hoppyness, faint alcohol. Finish is short to average, malty – grainy and lightly sweetish, grassy hoppyness and alcohol. Malty – grainy lightly sweetish pils, alcohol in the finish.

18/03 0.5 l fliptop bottle. It pours pale yellow body with medium sized head. Lemony hop aroma, some vegetable malty notes. Flavor is fine though, has fine herbal bitterness and weaker honey and biscuit malt. It’s medium bodied with nice bitterish finish. Simple, but not bad at all for my taste.

Bottle. Light aromas of straw, dried grass and a hint of pepper. Head is small, frothy/bubbly white with thin but good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Flavor starts lightly acidic, and is followed by a long, faintly sweet and acidic and a lightly bitter finish. Palate is light to medium, watery with a lively carbonation. Not very complex like most Classic German Pilseners, but this was an easy drinker.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Ins Glas ergießt sich ein leicht blasses Pils mit einer mittelporigen, flachen Krone, welche sehr schnell verschwindet. Kaum CO2 steigt empor. Der Geruch ist hopfig und säuerlich herb, irgendwie unangenehm und leicht muffig. Der Antrunk ist besser. Frisch hopfig, und sehr merkwürdig süß. Diese süßliche Note habe ich bei einem Pils noch nie wahrgenommen, aber schlecht schmeckts nicht unbedingt. Merkwürdiges, aber dennoch probierenswertes Pils!

Hopfig-herber Geruch, würzig. Geschmacklich eine schöne durchgehende Bitterlinie untermalt von ausgewogener Würze. Im Abgang legt der Hopfen nochmals zu und zieht lang ins Finish hinein. Sehr angenehmes Pils. Test vom 6.6.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Pils pulita senza troppi pregi, l’ha bevuta Sergio al locale in cui siamo andati dopo essere tornati a Voghera. Ci siamo pure mangiati un bel panino
