440ml can, a gift from a friend. Drank early afternoon on 11th July 2025 after a bit of labour in the garden putting up four new items for decoration (two mirrors, a clock and a barometer), it's sunny and very hot, hence a Lager/Pilsner. Poured three times into a small, old Veltins stemmed tulip glass at home. Crystal clear golden body with a healthy white crown on each pour (faded a bit swiftly though). Grassy with a slight herbal twist and a hop bitterness that smacks the lips. Just what I needed after the drilling and screwing, very refreshing. A good start to a mini-tasting I am having this afternoon and early evening (all by myself), Margie is out with friends!
