330 ml bottle into lager glass, bottled on 3/19/2018. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn/pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity/skunky aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt/corn and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, white bread, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn/pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn/pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt/corn and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a nice German pilsner style. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt/corn and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Nice clean pils malt/grain flavors, with solid earthy hop presence/balance for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts. A nicely enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

0.33 l bottle brought by Pilot Goran from Dubai. Thanks! Clear golden, diminishing head. Lightly to moderately aromatic, grassy hops, doughy, grainy, unpleasant. Sweetness, perfume. Light body, soft to moderate carbonation, light finish. Bad one.
