Appearance: golden color. Great head, white color and lasting. Aroma: malty and light hop’s smells. Aromatic citric fruits. Flavour: pale malts and low hoppyness for a pilsner. Sour fruity touch like grapefruits and pineapple. Palate: light body and medium carbonated. Very mediocre beer.

33cl. bottle. Pours yellow/gold with a puffy but disappearing white head. Grassy, slightly floral aroma. Light cereal/straw flavors with a timid hoppiness. Not really much to say here except "nothing offensive."

33 cL bottle. Pours clear yellow with a somewhat lasting and white head. Sweet malt and corn aroma. Flavour is malty but also quite dry. Ends soft malty with a slight bitterness. Decent to good brew.

heavy (1466) - Split, CROATIA - OCT 16, 2007
UPDATED: OCT 17, 2007 Re-rated: 0.5 l can from Metro. Drank two other cans which were slightly better, so let’s see... It was very fresh beer. Poured crystal clear pale yellow body with big white frothy head. With those tiny carbon bubbles looked very nice in a footed pilsener glass. Quite weak aroma of grassy and lemony hops, with quite lot of sweet malts. Flavor is quite dry, bitter with some sweetness. Medium carbonation and pretty oily palate. First can I tried had notes of metal, ruining the whole thing. Long, pleasantly bitter finish, after a while becomes pleasantly bittersweet. Had quite decent expectation of this one, first was a big disappointment, now well, fine beer, but not outstanding, pretty average. Flavor, palate and overall + 1

Fukito (610) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - OCT 10, 2007
Can, october 2007. Clear, pale, golden color with a medium, fluffy, bubbly white head. Herbal and bready malts aroma. Quite clean. Malty, grassy herbal flavor. Very balanced and refreshing. Dry finnish with a hoppy aftertaste. Medium to light mouthfeel, nice and refreshing. Dry finnish. Not so gassy as one would expect from a pils, which is good. Nice, refreshing and quite tasty german pils.
