Clear, golden colored, small to medium white head, not very lasting. Aroma is of malt, cereals, some sulphur and grassy herbal hops. Taste is medium- sweet malt, grains and cereal, bit sulphury, medium Noble bitterness. Dry bready finish. Light to medium bodied, average carbonation, refreshing. Special, revolution, reclaim, bla bla... To combat industrial lagers, OK. To go head to head with some great German pilseners... nope. (bottle, Pivoteka, Zagreb)

Can 33cl, BB 15/04/2016. Dorée, col épais blanc-cassé. Arôme offre un bouquet herbacé impression de gazon fraichement tondu accompagné d’un agréable citronné presque de citron vert. Palais reste centré sur un profil grains prenant, pils un peu métallique mais agréable. Retrouve un citronné sec avec un léger houblonné fleuri. Impression de qcq ester pour une note belge niveau levure? Le côté herbacé reste également prenant.

0.33 l bottle from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with Vi?nja666, thanks! Clear pale yellow, no head. Vegetable and cereal, herbal hops in background. Medium body, quite present for a lager. Sweet malty taste, cereal, hoppy finish. Nice and bitter in the end. Medium carbonation. Average.

Can 33 cl. Yellow, cloudy with a minimal white head. Light Hoppy and citrus sense. Light bitter with a short Hoppy/citrus end, watery.

At BrewDog’s new pub in Brussels. Very thick, cobweb-lacing, snow white, dense head over a lightly hazy golden blonde beer with somewhat greenish hue. Aroma of fresh grassy hops, white bread, chamomille, dough, popcorn (even though no corn is used). Soft grainy taste, bit bready with medium carbo (softer than usual for the style), a bit powderish due to the yeast residue but otherwise smooth and supple, finishing in a long, drying, grassy and herbal hop bitterness. This is a full-fledged Pilsener indeed, but since it’s unfiltered, it has certain Kellerbier characteristics as well. We compared this with a real standard pale lager (Portugal’s Super Bock) and the difference is immense; this BrewDog interpretation almost feels like a parody of this ubiquitous style...

330 ml. can. BBF 15/04/16. Poured out a little bit but drank most of it out of the can. Lovely golden, creamy small head that quickly vanishes. Nose is oily corn & big sugar sweetness, lightly mineral, rather sweet, light vegetable oil, faint oily hops, very little, smells way less hoppy than expected. Taste is oily sweet corn, surprisingly corn-like with big sweetness, oily vegetable oil & some lighter white sugar sweetness, faint flowers & minerals, sweet oily flowers, quite a bit of honey. Very oily, hop presence is nearly negligible. Overall this feels like a good take on a pale lager without any disturbing flavors, excellent for a pale lager (whatever that means) but definitely not the IPL I was expecting & hoping for. This is really corn & vegetable oil forward. Overall another highly logical & brilliant step in BrewDog continuing domination in the beer scene but weak compared good examples of hoppy craft lagers / IPL’s or whatever you want to call or classify them. Drinks better out of the can, this is indeed pale lager for me, better than others of its kind but below what lager can which encompasses a huge number of possibilities.

Bottle from Vinens Verden, Odense. Pale golden with a small white head. Malty aroma with a hint of DMS, herbal hops and a hint of honey- Herbal, grassy and floral hoppy flavour with a little bready malt in the background. Definitely a good one, but they’re still made spicier, hoppier and more robust in Southern Germany
