0.5 l can my friend Matej brought from Germany, thanks! It poured yellow body with smaller head. Crude grain pale lager aroma with some herbal dry hops. Similar flavor, typical grainy-hay-herbal German pilsener, almost like a cardboard. Not too much of it, rather thinner body, overly carbonated. Short and pretty ugly, dry cardboard finish. Just an average German pils, type that simply doesn’t ring my bells.

Bottle sample at the World Beer Festival Richmond, 6/12/10. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of light grainy notes and a lot of grassy hops. The taste is grassy with some nutty notes. Thin-medium bodied.

(Can) Clear yellow colour with frothy, white head. Crisp, malty nose with bread, hay, grass and a hint of citrus. Malty taste with notes of bread, hay, hints of apples and a dry, grassy finish with medium bitterness. Medium body, mainly dry. A crisp, clean, refreshing and tasty German pilsener. Nothing extraordinary, but very drinkable.

MET supermarket four-pack pounders ($7): Pours a very pale gold with a quickly dissipating head. Aroma of German Hops tinged with a little bit of metal. Got a light bitterness to it. Bunch of German grassy hops in there. Doesn’t have a complexity of flavors, but this is not what the beer is about. It is a simple beer that satisfies, by giving you a bunch of good and not a lot of bad. Easy to drink and crispy...

Bottle. It’s a straw to pale golden beer with a small, diminishing white head. Grainy nose with a decent fruityness. DMS notes too. Nice bitterness in the mouth, but rest of the flavor isn’t good. Grainy and fruity. Thin body. Bitter finish. Not very good, even for a non-alcohol beer, but not foul either. 100423

Tin. Poured lemon yellow with thick white head. Aroma is lemon and hay. Malty flavour with a hoppy edge and an unpleasant metallic something in the flavour and in the finish. Only Average.

500 ml can purchased at Hills and Dales Icehouse in San Antonio, Texas. Stamped 22.06.2010, 22.06.2009. Pour is a clear yellow golden with a rocky one inch clean white head. Aroma of soft floral sweetness, hay, and toasted maltiness. Soft and inviting nose. Taste is similarly soft with the floral, herbal hop notes up front, mildly caramel sweet malt behind that. Gentle and integrated, nice clean flavor. Palate is light bodied, very fine and soft carbonation and a dry mineral finish. Really easy to drink.

I’d always assumed this was a different name for Bitburger. I suppose I’ll have to taste them together to find out how much of a fool I am. In any case, this is another solid but forgettable German Pils. [edit:] They are indeed a little different - this is slightly drier as well as paler in colour. Not a lot between them, though.
