Quite aged sample Transparent tim over copper-orange, clear beer. Clearly oxydized nose, 'biscuit', nuts, portwine. Sweet, even more port than the nose, dried sweet oranges, bit caramel. Only the finish is tired and oxydized, accusing its age. Light, very slick to oily, undercarbonated. Held up surprisingly well, even when it can't be called 'Premium Lager' any longer. Txs to Stef!

From BA (Oct 2007): Bought as a present by my wife earlier this year, best before 1st Nov 2007, at a cost of £2.95 for a 450 ml flip-top bottle. Anyway this bottle was poured into one of my Veltins Pilsner glasses (two and a half times). The first pour, straight after the bottle was popped gave a two inch white head and a light golden, slightly hazy body with plenty of carbonisation. the head started to fall away as soon as I had a sip, but it didn’t go completely. The second and third pour did the same, so plenty of condition within the beer. The aroma wasn’t too bad for a lager, I have trouble finding any nose with this type of beer, but this one had a good beery yeastiness to it. The taste was better than a few lagers I’ve had. If in fact it is to be classed as an American Macro, then it is a bloody good one. I think this is actually a fine German Pilsner badged for the UK market as a lager. The flavours of light hops and malts came through, as did the yeast. As with all lagers, the lightness prevents a great or amazing mouthfeel, but this had enough about it for me to enjoy. No metalic or tinny aftertaste, no huge dryness, just a pleasant feel to it. An OK beer, the price (well it is Harrods) is a bit over the top, I wonder if it is available under a different name in Germany at a more realistic price?

Flip-top bottle from Harrods. Purs light amber gold with a 3 finger whitish head. Light malty aroma with a little grassy hop. Flavor is a bit different. Hop seems more fruity than grassy. The malt is quite tasty, though a bit bready. Tastes much better than I would have thought, considering it’s a pale lager. It’s a nice drink.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a shortlived white head. Aroma is mild fruity and toasted malt. Flavour is bitter, slight fruity and subdued sweet yet toasted malt comes through. A slight bit oldish. Ends dry malty.

Bügelverschlussflasche: Deep golden, medium head with a good lace, distinctive toasted-malty nose with a good amount of hops; solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; distinctive malty and slightly aromatic-hoppy finish. Chewy, well-crafted stuff for those, who can enjoy good Lagers..........

This was the last beer that I drank when I was in Europe. Drank it while it wasn’t quite cold, but it was still a rather good beer in my opinion. Pretty strong for a lager and not lacking on the flavour aspect either. It is what is to be expected from a store like Harrd’s.
