Gpnterojd (172) - Orangeville, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 24, 2007
Pours a very light yellow. Light, hoppy aroma with some bread and some skunk. Flavour has some sweet malts wrapped in a somewhat unexciting hop blanket. What interplay the flavours have is disrupted largely by a strong metallic overtone and aftertaste. It can’t make up its mind between medium bodied or watery. Aftertaste is dry and has lingering sweet notes and a tad of bitterness. Very light. Passable, yet far from above mediocre. Update: Metallic taste is gone about 1/2 way through the can.

Pours with a white head but dissapates quickly, very clear light gold color. A good pilsner, I think should be a little colder for more refreshing from this room temp.

Good, drinkable pils, but not a legendary stuff...Nice malty aroma, good carbonation, balanced flavour

kappldav123 (3124) - Markkleeberg, GERMANY - DEC 12, 2007
UPDATED: DEC 31, 2007 The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Not spicy enough, the finish too dry. Not a really good beer.

DrHomolka (761) - Portland, Oregon, USA - NOV 11, 2007
12oz bottle. Best by 4/19/08. Pours the lightest yellow I’ve ever seen. Almost white. Completely clear and translucent. Has a foamy white head at first that dies down to a sheet of a head that covers the entire top. Aroma is a nice, clean, honey smell. Typical pilsner but good. More malt and not many hops detectable. Taste is super dry, very clean, with not much taste but nothing bad. This is pretty good for the style. Exactly what I would look for in a pilsner. Very drinkable, very refreshing.

yarry (451) - Waterdown, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 25, 2007
500ml can, 4.9% a/v Pours a nice light gold with a dense white head. The nose is grass, floral, and hops. The taste is pretty much nothing, but with a very nice floral hop aftertaste. Mouthfeel is fairly decent. Pretty good pils.

Grovlam (4106) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - SEP 22, 2007
Bottle. [Courtesy of nicolascage, session @ Ølbaren] Average fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Clear flat looking body with a yellow color. Aroma of grass, cardboard, hay, straw. Light bodied with a light dry texture and an average carbonation. Balanced light sweet and bitter flavor. Sweet and dry finish. 18-09-2007, Thanks Lars!
