Bottle:Pale greenish-golden, no head; faint herbal-hoppy traces in the grainy-malty nose; light bodied, light sweet-bitter flavour; delicate hoppy bitterness in the mainly sweetish-grainy finish. Not very different to the Urtyp Hell...........

The bottle looks old-fashioned, but good. The beer in the glass quite zippy, small creamy head. Starts sweet-hoppy, quite malty and spicy, not really dry. Finish still sweet and well balanced. Good pilsener!
