LCBO. In Christoffel glass. Hazy golden pils with a crenmy smooth white head. Herbal hops dominates the aroma with weedy notes. In mouth, like good scotch malt with nice crisp hops in mouth, which last and pleases the palate. Rich bodied. Wonderful pils!

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden, opaque beer with a rather solid head - indeed an unusual pilsener look, if this really is to be considered a pilsener? Lovely, flowery nose - the aroma hops are very present here. Some late hopping adds wonderful hoppy aromas to complete a fresh and very bitter beer. Unusual. 191096 and 190802

A good pils. Yellow. Lightly hopped and heavily carbonated. Fairly smooth, but considerable hop flavor. One of the better pilsners I have tried.

(swing top bottle) Hazy pale yellow colour with steady foamy white head. Gentle floral hoppy aroma with elements of citrus fruits. Great bitter, almost astringent start, but not as dry as expected, well-balanced hoppy and malty finish.

2004 bottle. Pours a caramel/amber body, with a light transluscence from the small amount of sediment in it. But a little weak and transparent after it settles. Rapidly disipating, light beige head. Aroma is lightly spicy, with some nut-brown characteristics (dry walnut-like flavors, with brown sugar and a bit of cola). Flavor is full of light toasted grains, sweet caramel and brassy hops bitterness. Ends with a good balance of sweet/bitter and gets a good lager yeast punch in. Terrifically quenching vienna here, as quenching as their pilsener with a little more oomph to it. I’m surprised to see the parity between the two, though I guess the fresh, spicy/herbal hops in the pils get a lot of high marks. No alcohol, no thinning, maybe a touch of metallic flavors or something dirty, but it’s faint. Body is medium, no chewiness.

Nut brown - orange, good off-white head. Fruity hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied, fruity - a bit banana, mango and water melon mixed with flowery hops. Long fruity aftertaste. Unfortunately this patch was a bit out of date.

Thin brownish head, fine-bubbled, fast gone; over hazy beer with mahogany colour. Dark malts, as well as dark candi or even molasses, which seems strange for a Vienna elaborated by a Weihenstephaner disciple. Bit grassy as well, earthy. Bread taste, reassuringly German, with quite herbal notes, as a wild herb plucked fresh. Nettles? Finishes burnt-caramelised bitterish (long). Light to medium bodied, quite carbonated MF. Good Vienna, despite nose. Worthy of Leo Brand’s principles. A style I can dig.

Pilsener? I thought this is Witbier.
Hazy yellow, small white head and lace. Fresh, crisp, citron and wheat aroma. Refreshing, sweetish, wheat, grassy and lemon flavor. Light body with quite low carbonation.

(330 ml fliptop bottle, bought in Denmark).
Hazy pale golden colour, moderate head, leaves some lacing. Aroma is yeasty like a blond ale and flowery (Saaz?) like a Bohemian pilsener. Flavour and aftertaste have a distinct hoppy bitterness, notes of pine needles, eucalyptus and grapefruit. Very nice. One small bottle is not enough!
