Solid!

(#1317)(#322 DE)(#164 Bavaria)

50cl bottle. A clear yellow golden beer with a white head. Aroma of grassy and spicy hops, pale malt. Taste of grainy pale malt, spicy bitter hops. Long bitter finish.

Aroma had diacetyl, pale malt and grassy hops. Over the palate came floral hops, biscuit, light bread and citric hints.

Pale golden with a large-bubbled white head. Good enough retention, little lacing. Vivid and fresh aroma shows a soft, slightly soapy cerealish base, with a bit of hay. Soon overcomed by rather strong fresh grassy notes, with a floral note too. Quite clean and well defined. Taste notes follow the aroma, but are not equally bright. Light to medium sweetness and average bitterness, good balance in the mouth and light bittering edge in the finish. Light bodied with average carbonation. A rather easy, lively enough mouthfeel. Very classic, overall well made pilsner.

Poured on mug, can't be sure about colour but i'd say something in the likes of light brown / dark reddish. A quite dense off-white head shows good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is a not especially potent, super classic dunkelish, with a caramel and nutty malts base, a bit of cola-like feel, and hints of frutiness. Taste, however, is definitely more bitter than the average dunkel. Again, caramel and nutty malts base, but also a hint of roasted malts. Slight kinda berrish fruitiness and a rather strong per style flowery hops bitterness that also brings a clean finish. Overall, perfect sweet/bitter balance in the mouth, slight bitter edge in the finish and a clean, quite dry per style aftertaste. Light bodied with quite low, delicate carbonation, resulting in a smooth, easy feel. Aroma and taste were perhaps not too intense, but as with many german lagers, the drinkability and balance give this beer a moreish feel. Very nice.

500ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Hay, bread, grass and lime in the aroma. Grassy and refreshing taste with lime zest, lime leaves, hay and white bread. A classy and enjoyable pils.
