Despite Simplex being an ale, it has all the characteristics of an old-styled pils. It is a blond, unfiltered, unpasteurized, hoppy and bitter beer that remains low in alcohol. Resulting in a straw blonde, highly drinkable beer with plenty of flavor and character.
Taste: Refreshing, light and with a firm bitterness

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma is floral, dark fruity, yeasty and caramelly. Pours cloudy dark golden color with thick creamy white head, fair lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts mild to medium sweet malty and faint dried fruity, following is herbal and yeasty, mouthfeel is smooth but rather dry, while finish is heavy bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Quite complex…

Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy golden pour, one finger frothy white head, long lasting. Thick lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, grassy, herbal, ripe citrus fruits. Medium body, lively carbonation. Fizzy mouthfeel, average texture, lightweight and easily drinkable. Moderately bitter taste balanced with mild sweetness in the background. Aroma of yeast, grains, hay. Grassy notes, ripe citrus, bubblegum, spice. Lingering hop bitterness. Medium lasting finish, dry, bitter, earthy. Solid.

Bottle. Rather thin body and high carbonation. Med-high bitterness, low sweetness. Lots of doughy grainy bready flavour, slightly phenolic. Med-light earthy hops character. Okay, drinkable, nothing too interesting though.

33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange blond, partially hazy, with fine white foam. Aroma is spiced, with a wonderful reminiscence of lambic. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is fairly bitter, especially in the final, which is earthy.

Incredibly hoppy, quite dry. Indeed, this is not a pils.
