Bottle from Jopen. Grassy and herbal-ish hop aroma with grainy malt, hay, fruity notes including melon and lime. Flavour is moderate bitter, with a light to medium body. Nicely crisp 'crafty' Pils with herbal and fruity notes.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch. Near clear pale gold beer, tiny white head. Light and semi dry palate, good superfine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, lightly seedy - nutty. Some lager tang in the mid along with light floral fruits. A little hop bite. Finishes light and semi dry. Refreshing.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch, 03/07/24. Clear golden blonde with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is toasted grains, pale malts, biscuit, straw, hint of melon. Taste comprises pale and bready malts, toasted grains, herb, hedgerow, grass, faint lemon rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough pils.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Plus Culemborg. Hazy orange with a white head. Grassy hoppy aroma with some grains. Sweet taste with a mild bitter finish. Nice hoppy pilsener.

Bottle 33cl. from a local AH supermarket @home poured into a footed pilsner glass. A bit unclear pale golden colour, good frothy white head, dissipating slowly. Good lacing. Aroma pilsner malt, grain, lemon peel, citrusy hops. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, citrus, spicy notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, dryish sweetbitter aftertaste, light husky notes, bit peppery on the tongue, refreshing, well-balanced, quite dry for a pilsner, very nice. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Craft Pilsener on 05 May 2022 at 17:47 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5.

Foamy white head on a hazy pale golden coloured body. Grainy, malt & citrus aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a tingle on the tongue. Grainy, malt, biscuit & citrussy tastes with a big fruity hoppy finish. Nice.
