3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at home. Pours a slightly cloudy straw to amber colour. Smallish head that stays around. Aroma dominated by resinous hops. Not the most subtly flavoured beer I’ve tasted - slightly sweet fruity base giving in to an intensely hoppy finish, just what I was looking for. A ’big’ lager and one of the best I’ve tasted.
4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
A fantastic Pilsner. Intense flavor just at the limit of balance. Only flaw, if any, may be that it’s a little too everything (althought not as excessively hoppy as the otherwise fine Sam Adams Noble Pils). Great in bottle or on tap.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Big citrus hop aroma, with little to no malt character coming through. Huge hop flavor: lemony, then grassy and peppery, then huge bitterness that lasts forever. It starts off quite sweet as well, though not malty, something like lemonade. An impressive showcase for hops, to be sure, but overall, a bit unpleasantly bitter. Very light, soapy body. Interesting and tasty, but too much.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Blonde. Soft grassy citric aroma with spicy and mango notes. Firm grassy citric hopbitter flavor. Pineapple. Long oily hopbitter aftertaste. A nice spicy hoppiness in this excellent pilsener.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Golden beer with a medium, long lasting and white hed. Aroma is fresh and pure malty, grass; simple but good. Taste is medium bitter made with grassy hoppyness, also biscuity malts, dry. Taste is also simple just as aroma. The great, strong bitterness made this Pils almost as IPA. Smooth and medium bodied. Lots of hops are used for this beer that surprise me, otherwise simple, but very succesfull and tastefull.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Bierzwerg. Poured clear golden with a thin white head. Aroma has some floral and fruity hoppy notes, along with some malt. Flavor is similar, fruity citrus, hops, malt and quite strong bitter finish. Refreshing and crisp brew.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A nice palatable no nonsense beer. A pilsner on steroids, hop bitterness, nice body etc.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle pours straw-gold with a white head. Aroma shows bready malt with florals, grass, and light citrus. Flavor shows the same while remaining clean and crisp without your typical pils skunk. Overall body is
light to moderate and the bitterness is well balanced.
