0.5 l bottle shared with a friend. Pours golden color, with a nice thick white head. Hops, slight reisin, grassy and earthy notes in aroma. Bitterish taste with a short to medium finish. Light body, lively carbonation. Nice pils.

Pretty basic. Clean and refreshing. Soft cereals, bright, slightly lemony hops. Cereal finish, low bitterness, hints of grasses. Nothing going on really, just a decent pils.

Tap at the brewery. My 5th MJ500 beer on this trip. Brilliant gold, effervescent. Rocky head. Bright nose of crisp malt and spicy hops. Lemony hop flavor, somewhat stiff malt, peppery finish. A bit of cardboard. Somewhat watery but decent enough flavor. Not sure how this compares to the ones MJ tried here. They have been bought by a large company since then, as have many in Germany. This is an ok pilsner today, not not much more. Would not rate that high in the present world.

Pours gold from the bottle. Frothy white head that lingers. Aroma is grassy, a bit sweet. Taste is mildly bittersweet up front, finishes with a dry, flat bitterness that does not linger long. Body is medium, smooth. Okay but dull.

Bottle in some anarchist place in Karlsruhe. Straight from the bottle which looks decent. Soft malts, hop extract, light grass and soft citrus peel. Light sweet and almost medium bitter. Bit crisp feel.

0.5l bottle. Clear pale yellow body with a thin white head. Aroma of hay, bread, grains and floral hops. Taste is very similar to the aroma. Notes of hay, grains, sugary bread and floral hops. Simple beer, but decent.
