Watery blond colour, white head. Bitter and wheat aromas, a typical pilsener. Little bit bitter flavour.

Pale gold; thin white head, a bit irregular, lacey but fast gone. Nose of palt malt and a fine, herby-hoppy odour, good German type hops, a bit peppery. Very dry, hopbitter taste. "Würzig-herb" they say over there. Quite good, actually, but one-dimensional. Very refreshing, light bodied. Very dry beer, even in the aftertaste. A nice classic Nord-German Pilsener.

Category II pilsener, which means it is not very good. The usual pilseners like Amstel, Heineken and Grolsch are category I. So this is definitely below average. Exactly what it tastes like.

Decent dutch pilsener. Cheap, bit sweet. Not as hoppy and bitter as the usual german stuff.

Pale, hazy. Quite hoppy, especially on the nose, with some slight spice and lots of dryness. A herbal, yeasty beer with white pepper notes, similar to something like Saison Dupont, but with less complexity, as Ol_Juntan alluded to.
