Edel-Pils

2015 rating (5.2%):Rerate courtesy of heavy, thanks! Poured a shiny yellow body with a tiny white head. Soft, dusty appleay aroma. Taste... ouch... unappealing aggressive herbal taste with some alcohol present even. Impressively bad bitterishherbal finish. I’m reading my old rating and cannot believe these are the same beer... Whatever changes there were were not for the better. 5/3/4/2/10. 2011 rating:Bottle, obviously, courtesy of Ogi who shared this with me (thanks!) The goat on the label is cool :). Anyway, poured a shiny yellow body with a persistent thick white head. Nice grainy nose, notes of rice crackers, slightly oily, almost like a high-tier Czech pils! And the kind of CZ pils I like to boot. Yeah, Czech-style gluey, rice-crackery lovely grainy maltiness. Light, but even a little smokey. With a fresher hop profile this would’ve been a classic, like this, it’s "just" a very good Czechoid German pils! 7/3/7/3/14

50cl bottle from mein-biershop. Poured pale golden and clear with a white head. Grassy and herbal aroma, weak metallic notes. Flavor is bready malt, herbs and weak hops towards finish. Drinkable, but easy forgettable.

Bottled (from mein-biershop.de). Yellowish golden colour, mediumsized to big foamy white head, that leaves some slight lace. Aroma is grains, grass, some bready malts as well as mild hayish notes. Flavour is bready malts, some grassyness, mild metallic notes as well as quite strong herbal tones to it.

Draught at the brewery. Fruity aroma, cherry, grassy hops, malt. Deep gold color with a fine head. Flavor of rich malts, cookies, grass, quite a bit of fruit, like plums, with some alcohol noticed. Maybe some himbeer berries as well. Rather bitter finish. Not as perfect as I remember it being in 2006. A bit of butter also doesn’t help.

Tap. Strong barley malt and light grass hops aroma. Clear yellow color with giant head. Mild barley malt and bitter grass hops flavor. Very nice.

Bottle, shared by fonefan. It’s a clear, yellow to golden beer with a small white head. Nice fruity, slightly perfumed, hops in the aroma, on a malty background. Sweet and malty flavor with a pleasant hoppyness giving bitterness. Medium body and a pleasant bitterness in the finish. A rather pleasant and quaffable one, but nothing special. 090821

Bottle, 5.2%. Papery aroma. Very pale yellow colour. Very small white head. Looks thin, but the flavour is not bad. Good maltiness, hint of the usual paper. Slightly sweet. Very clean.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear yellow with a white head. Good, perfumy flowery hop aroma. Medium body, malt and perfumy floral hops that leave a solid bitterness. 210809
