500ml can from an Advent Calendar on Christmas Eve 2019. Clear and clean light golden body, white topping that tried to hang around. Grainy aroma and taste, slightly metallic feel, not pleasant really.

500 ml can from the Kalea Advent calendar. A day late on this one. Aroma is crackery, grassy, floral. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one+ finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately sweet, lightly bitter, with some grassy/herbal hop character. Good.

Super crisp golden and straw coloured body with a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of grass, hay, light biscuits and a dose of unfinished yeast. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal hops show with a touch of a very perfumey and fresh hop bite, especially towards the end, without much bitterness, just the grasses. Aftertaste shows a very dry and grassy flavour with some hay and bread noticeable towards the end as well, but not much else - and definitely no astringency or pungent bittering flavours. Overall, a pretty unoffensive beer with a lot of dry and herbal notes with some perfume and a nice and almost sweet hop flavour towards the end. Good to sample and a crisp and well-rounded pilsner with a softer finish that makes it a bit easier drinking than other German pilsners with a smooth sweetness. I sampled this 500 mL can as Day One [of twenty-four] of the 2018 Christmas Advent Calendar, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 30-September-2018 for US$59,99/twenty-four, sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-December-2018.

Wonderful German Pilsner. This is how a Pilsner should taste - crisp, refreshing and full bodied. Good stuff

getrunken im Jänner 2018
Sollte man vorhaben, sich wieder einmal so richtig schön behindert zu saufen, kann man gerne zu diesem Bier greifen; für mehr ist es nicht zu haben.

12/2017: Pours gold from the bottle. Foamy white head that slowly fades. Aroma is straw and quite metallic. Taste is a bit better: a simple, clean crisp but mild bitterness sets the tone but is otherwise unremarkable. A light fruitiness plays out going into the finish. Overall, the metallic notes drag this one down for me. Updated: 08/2021: a lot less metal this time. Crisp finish. Not all that bad. Near a 3.0
