330 ml bottle into lager glass, best before 12/2018. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toast biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big cracker, white bread dough, lightly toast biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toast biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly creamy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is an outstanding German pilsner! All around awesome robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very clean and nicely rich Pils malt showcase, with nice noble hop presence/balance. A highly enjoyable offering, and impressive style example.
