jetzler (622) - oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA - SEP 3, 2006
Bottle 47F Pilsner Glass. NIce floral hops notes balanced against sweet light malts. Good grain nose, but still lgith with clean german hops. Light Golden color, with a light white head and moderate lacing. Crisp clean flavor, with moderately bitter hops, and an even dry finish. No notes of soap or any other off notes, very crisp and clean taste. Lighter palate, with decent carbonation. Overall a decent Pilsner not There are better versions out their but this one is not too bad.

eaglefan538 (2726) - Wilmington, Delaware, USA - AUG 23, 2006
Bleh, this was German? Hand carried back from Germany, but it tasted like European green bottled swill (despite being in a brown bottle). The pour had the weakest head that dissipated quickly, lacking significant carbonation display, and laced about zero. Color was urine like for sure, very pale yellow. The aroma was skunky and grassy. Flavor was very weak and thin, grassy hops the feature along with a light metallic and preservative type taste. Swill, I say, swill. I’m surprised to see that others enjoyed this, especially if from the bottle.

Storm (2685) - Amager, DENMARK - AUG 19, 2006
50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Golden clear colour with a nice white head. Soft grassy aroma with notes of sweet malt. Very clean and soft flavour that ends up bitter.
