50 cl bottle @ Timo A. Rated on 28.02.2011
Aroma has grassy hops, some grainy malt and hints of butter. Flavour has grassy hops, herbal notes and some grainy malt. A bit harsh feeling here. Quite bitter and herbal pils.

Bottle @ Bierzwerg.de. Pours clear pale yellow with a creamy egg white foam. Grassy and grainy. Freshly hopped. Crisp and dry. Rather simple and clean.

Wässriger Beginn, der herb und gering hopfig wird. Im Mittelteil herber, leicht süß, hintergründig trocken. Der Abgang ist wenig bitter, schnell milder. Süffiges, recht einfaches Bier. Geht in Ordnung. 11/8/9/7/7/7

Bottle 500ml. @ home.

Clear medium yellow colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, vegetables. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration, oil in water flavor and feel ! Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20111017]

50cl bottle from BIerzwerg. BBE 12/2011 Poured golden with a a typical white head. Aroma was grassy, quite hoppy, fresh and lovely. Flavor grassy hops, malt but with some weak metallic notes as well. quite dry, slightly fruity finish. All in all, very drinkable, above average pilsener.

Bottle. Blonde. Hay and a hint of citrus in the aroma. Firm hay-like hopbitter flavor. Citrus notes. Slightly floral, especially in the aftertaste. Well made pilsener with a satisfying balance.

Bottle: Pale greenish-golden, a light haze visible, stable small white foamy layer;; bitter-sweet hayish-grainy nose; not too dry bitter-sweet flavour, pretty light bodied, but pretty soft as well; slightly lingering hayish-grassy hops in the bitter and pale-malty finish. Not bad....

500 ml bottle. From bierzwerg.de.
Pale golden colour with tiny white head. Grassy hoppy aroma with some maltiness and hints of paper and salt. Flavour is grassy hops (rather mild though), salty water, paper and malt. Not that hopfy but definitely drinkable Pilsener.

Bottle, 50 cl. Blond pale beer with many bubbles, medium white head, some lacing noticeable. Aroma of hops and grains, light bitterness and light metallic malts on the background. Taste is quite nice: grainy, hoppy, some malts making the beer not too hoppy with a long nice bitter finish. Not a top beer, but certainly one of the better beers in this style.

Bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very zippy, huge head. Starts modest dry, hoppy-grasy, some lemon notes. Finish unbalanced, metallically-sourish. Starts good, but finish is disappointing.
