Draught at the brewpub. Refreshing hop aroma. Clear dark golden colour. Big stable creamy white head. Rustic and bitter flavour. A little floral hoppiness.

From tap. Pours cloudy to hazy orange, white head. Aroma is grassy, strawish. Bitter, grassy and citrusy. Lingering fruity. Crisp hoppy finish.

On Tap at Hops and Barley, Berlin Saturday 7th August 2021 in the company of Ben Palmer and Viola. Pours gold, light haze, could be mostly chill haze, white head. Solid, no-nonsense nice crisp Pils, light fruity bite, clean, good bitterness, like this, I had two.

Hops & Barley Spezial Pils, 5,2 %, Flasche von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. Wegen anderer Hopfensorten wohl ein anderes Bier als das in Dosen abgefüllte Spezialpils (ohne Bindestrich). - Orangegold, schwach trüb. - In der Nase schlanker, frisch zitrusfruchtiger Hopfen und feines brotiges Malz, Diacetyl, wenig pilstypisch. - Antrunk schlank aber kernig gerstig-malzig mit feinen karamellig-brotigen Zügen. Frische, leicht exotische aber nicht sehr herbe, mild süßliche zitrusfruchtige Hopfung, feine Pampelmuse. Leicht rustikal-unreife Note, die aber nur den Reiz erhöht. Schlank, fast dünn. Im Abgang rustikal-elegante, nicht allzu bittere zitrusfruchtige Hopfenherbe. - Sehr aromatisch aber nicht aufdringlich gehopftes, lockeres und süffiges Bier, kein typisches Pilsner, dennoch lecker. (15.6.2021.)
