When fresh, this beer explodes with a rich, earthy hoppiness right off the nose, and carries through with a well-structured hop/malt body - good bread, good hops, and a dry finish. That said, this is a classic pilsner in that it has no shelf life at all, so most of the time it tastes of stale hops with astringent bitterness and no malt interplay. The rating, of course, is for a fresh one.
