Came across this beer in Perth, Australia! Not many stand out Pilseners available on the Australian market. Marketed as Wolf Beer in Australia, this is a STAND OUT Pilsener of exceptional quality! Remarkably fresh (Date of bottling prominently displayed) and crisp with strong hop flavour, impressive foam stability, long & clean palate. This beer is not pasteurised, unlike most other beers. Very impressed, this is my new favourite Pils!

bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear pale yellow colour, large white head. Hoppy nose. Solid and pleasant malty base with nice aromatic herbal hops on top. Lingering hoppy finish. But, as this is Josef Groll’s Pils, should it not be a Bohemian Pilsener ;-)

The bottle looks simple but good, the beer in the glass is okay. Starts a bit moldy-sourish, but turns then nicely hoppy-fresh, a bit grasy. Finish shows also spicy-woody notes, still hoppy, not too dry. Well balanced and quite drinkable. Good pilsener!

(bottle, 4.9% abv) Clear, pale golden colour with a thick medium-sized foamy white head. Slightly sweet and grainy pale malty aroma with subtle notes of honey, citrus and mild herbal hops in the background. Sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly grainy malty taste with subtle fruity notes and soft herbal accents; moderately dry, sweet-bitter finish with delicate herbal hops. Easy-going and pretty mild and rounded Pilsener. 09.I.10

Hopfig-frisch im Geruch, mild der Eindruck. Ausgewogen hopfig-herber Start. Würzige und etwas aromatische Mitte. Abgangs noch würziger und verhalten bitter. Gefällt.Test vom 16.1.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy and open, good lacing, mostly lasting to diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, cereal, toasted. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily and smooth, carbonation is soft. [20100513]

Bottle: Golden, almost no carbonation visible, small persistent lacy white head; pale malty nose with very faint strawy and hoppy aromas; light to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, relatively light bodied, soft MF; short, almost watery, hoppy finish. Regarding, that Josef Groll "invented" the famous Pilsner Urquell, this is a very weak "descendant"......

Bottle. Creamy barley malt and grassy hops aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet barley malt and strong grass hops.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some slight saltwater, mild grassy hops as well as some slight herbal notes. Flavour is grassy, earthy, quite bready, but sweet malts as well as some mild floral notes in the finish.

it’s warm golden with a white, creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt, straw and a touch of cellar. The flavor has a light sweetness and notes of malt, straw, dusty grain and a little cellar, and the finish has a light bitterness.
