A crisp yet distinct Pilsner brewed with German hops that bring vivid notes of floral and spice with citrus and lemon. This is truly brilliant, bringing nuanced complexity together with smooth, easy drinking.
“Prima!” it is an exclamation of pure joy heard from brewmasters and beer lovers near and far each time they enjoy one of our most adored beers. It is also how she got her name. Like any proud parent, we have crowned her as one of our favorites. We lavish her with hand-picked hops, only the finest ingredients and painstakingly work to balance her distinct and nuanced complexity with smooth, easy drinking.

Bottle. Voldby Ølmesse. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate. Standard pilsner, how it can get so high ratings I dont understand. Maybee its because it doesnt have so many ratings....

Bottle: Clear, pale golden with a greenish sheen, quite stable white lacy head; very solid aromatic piney hoppy nose with some shy pale-malty support; full dry bitter flavour, soft and light bodied; dry - very hoppy - bitter finish. Good hoppy stuff, but lacks the presence of a malty body, that is necessary to become an excellent Pils..........

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a clear pale yellow with a plump white head. Aroma right on the money for the stylee, with maybe a bit more hop than you might expect. Crisp, clean and dry flavour with a great hoppy bite at the end. If only more pils were like this....

(35.5cl bottle) Clear, golden colour with a persistent foamy white head of medium size. Very aromatic and fresh citrus-fruity, flowery, zesty and spicy hoppy aroma with a slightly sweet malty background. Bitter flavour, medium bodied with a smooth well-carbonated mouthfeel. Starts dry and like a Tsunami of aromatic and bitter hops on a soft malty base; very dry and almost harsh hoppy finish with a long bitter tail. A somewhat extreme but quaffable hop-bomb (08.VIII.09).

Bottle, 12oz, at Copenhagen Beer Festival. A clear, almost golden beer with a decent white head. Lovely nose with citrusy hops doing most of the job, but supported by pale malts. Fine flavor of citrusy, piney hops blending with the pale malts that add some sweetness. Fine bitterness too, with a lasting finish. Nicely carbonated, medium body and rather dry. A lovely pils, giving the finger to Scandinavian pilsners. (Or "pilsners"). (090516)

50ml, bottle. Last drink on the second day at CBF 09. White foamy head, yellow-golden body. Fresh and nice fruit hoppy aroma. Smooth flavour of noble hops and pale malts. Fair bitter endnotes Clean tasting and easy going. Far better than what is called pils in Norway (late on 16.05.2009).
