330 ml bottle into lager glass, best before 3/2016. Pours crystal clear bright pale golden color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of light lemon, cracker, biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of light lemon, cracker, biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Damn nice robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from bitterness as well. Very clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast notes present. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly sticky/grainy/creamy mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a damn nice German pilsner style. All around great robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and clean to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

50 cl can. Light yellow color, clear, stable white head, decent lacing. Aroma is malty/grainy with bittering hops and metallic bitterness. Alcohol in the finish even if low abv. Bitter finish, dry, harsh. However, clean, straighforward german pilsener.

Pours a clear golden color, toppedwith a decent white fluffy head. Mild malty aroma with nice fresh grassy and hay notes. Taste is mild, slight sweetness upfront with grassy body and mild bitterness in the finish. Refreshing, crisp and clean. Perfectly decent pils.
