Low Life

355ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Tromsdalen. Patchy surface. Near clear golden body. Spotty lacing. Fruity aroma of pine and peaches. Well balanced taste profile of grassy hops, pine and mild caramel sweetness. Moderately dry hopped bitterness to the ending. Soft in the mouth. Fine bodied with splendid drinkability. Nice partner to our celebration chicken dinner (Tromsø 20.03.2016).

12 oz bottle poured. Pours a golden color with a thin fizz head. Grain, corn and hints of fruit on the aroma. Flavor matches closely with some hops that come in late. Grainy linger. Easy drinking. Pretty good.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a lager white head. Aroma is chalky pils malt with a little grassy hop. Flavor is a nice dry pils malt with lots of soft carbonation. Finish is dry but decently hopped. Pretty good pils. The malt and hops equally make a solid appearance.

Bottle. Great looking beer, thick, white lacing head. The beer is hazy brown, well carbonated. It is well hopped but the pilsner flavor comes through as well. Dry, and a little bit earthy.

Bottle, 0.355l. Clear deep golden color with large soapy white head and sparkling appearance. Aroma of citrus, herbs, wheat, passion fruit and yeast. Taste starts light sweet grainy, following is herbal, citric and yeasty, while mouthfeel is crisp and dry with harsh bitter finish and pleasant aftertaste. Light to medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. It’s an easy life with such a good pilsener...

Clear golden color with a fine white head. Pale malt, citric, fruity and bready. Nice tasty pilsner! Medium body and an average carbonation. Fine balance between sweetness and bitterness.
[Bottle from Drygate Bottle Shop in Glasgow, Scotland]

Medium offwhite head. Clear yellow body with carbonation and little particles. Resiny wooden fruity aroma, very clean, with spicy notes. Dry resiny cedar wood taste with spicy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry resiny wooden aftertaste with spicy tropical fruit notes. Nice and drinkable. (0.33l bottle, from Kihoskh, Copenhagen.)

Pint can into a large pilsner. Can date coded 15615 so I’m thinking according to freshbeeronly this is a best by date of June 15. Fuck me! The shit is 2 months past it’s prime. Well maybe I’m reading it wrong. Anyway... A: Pours a deep gold with great clarity and a 2 finger tight beaded head. Good retention and lively carbonation visible. Large patches of lace left and the head never completely dissipates. S: Bread hits the nose first. Malty, crisp and a touch sweet with a hint of floral hop hiding at the back. Very good smell if quite subdued. T: More bitter than malty in flavor as the hops come to the forefront. A bit more piney than floral as opposed to the nose. Malts seem a bit more sour in taste than smell. Still crisp and refreshing and no I don’t think it tastes old. A flavorful pils for sure with the malt rounding out a bit as the beer warms. M: Medium bodied lager with just enough carbonation to make it interesting. Long bitter and slightly sticky finish. O: Pretty decent pilsner exudes good craftsmanship. However this smells a little better than it tastes. Hopheads won’t be disappointed and the hops are good here but not sure they compliment the malted barley as well as they could. The jury’s still out on this one but I’ll say it’s above average. Certainly worth a try in 4 packs of pint cans.
