0.5 l bottle shared with a friend. Pours golden color, with a nice thick white head. Hops, slight reisin, grassy and earthy notes in aroma. Bitterish taste with a short to medium finish. Light body, lively carbonation. Nice pils.

Bottle at home. I quite like that the malt character has a deeper layer to it beyond the pale bready stuff, it tastes like honey on oats, nice. What’s not that nice is the lack of bitterness and thus the unbalanced impression, my palate got fatigued by the sweetness by the end of the bottle

Pretty basic. Clean and refreshing. Soft cereals, bright, slightly lemony hops. Cereal finish, low bitterness, hints of grasses. Nothing going on really, just a decent pils.
