Our version of a Bavarian-style unfiltered lager. Sweet malt, subtle floral hops and a crisp refreshing finish.
Inspired by lazy days by the river Eisbach, this is our flagship beer that will change what you think about lager.

Can from HBB. It pours clear golden with a foamy white head. The aroma is fresh and clean, floral, sweet, doughy white bread and some cereal. The taste is crisp and clean, fresh, floral and grassy, daisies, twist of citrus, cracker, cereal, some dryness and bready malt back bone with a floral finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Flavourful, rounded and quenching. Very nice work. Moreish.

440ml can ordered online from Hoptimism, drunk at home. Light gold and clear. Visible carbonation but very little head. Light aroma, a bit floral with some hay, corn syrup and caramel notes. Sweet taste with suggestions of honey, winding down to a more balanced finish. Low to medium carbonation. It's a decent lager but not outstanding.

440 ml can. Pours unclear golden, with a big fluffy stable head. Grassy and floral hops, citrus, sourdough. Dry crisp bitterness, citric sourness. Medium bodied, oily texture, lively carbonated, dry sour finish. Decent Helles, however don’t like the sourness in here.

Blik thuis geprobeerd met BartvG en Hillig en LiekevdV. Het een helder goudgeel bier met een dun schuim. Het heeft een moutige wat zoete geur. De smaak is moutig, licht en wat fruitig.

Det står unfiltered på burken med den gyllene vätskan är helt klar. Skummet är tjockt. Doft av sur malt, kakdeg och blommig humle. Lite vass munkänsla. Smakar blommig humle och lite plåt.
Helt ok.

440 ml can from MBC, pkgd 16/08/19. Golden, clear body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, white head. Aroma of grains, pale bread, flowers, grass, some citrus, some pine, slight herbs. Tastes similar, with more crisp herbs. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes crisp, medium dry, moderate bitter, grainy, bready, floral, a bit herbal, a bit citric, slightly piney. Very nice. Fresh and crisp, with lovely grainy notes and just enough floral and citric hops. Drinks easy, while not too light bodied. Highly quaffable, greatly balanced Lager! Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15
