330 ml bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a small dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Very fruity/yeasty aromas. Very poor aromas with pale malt and light earthy hop notes; with poor strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors; with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, fairly bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an okay Euro pale lager. Nice robustness of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; smooth and pretty refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Clean pils malts and mild earthy hop presence/balance. A fairly enjoyable offering. Probably old, and would be better fresh with more carbonation.
