Bottle: Brownish coloured with a small off-white head, dark malt, burnt malt and a bit of coffee in the nose; dryish, moderate bitter-sweet flavour, a bit sticky, light bodied; bitter malty finish with a touch of burnt malt and coffee. Not really good...................

500 ml bottle. Pale gold with a decent white head. Aroma of floral hops. Flavour started with a hint of malt sweetness, before the hops kicked in. Easy drinking with a smmoth finish. A very good pils.

Bottle from the now closed Pitfield beer shop. Mahogany with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of preserved fruit with a hint of roasted notes. Flavour was sweet with a metallic finish. My least favourite Schwarzbier.

Big white lasting head. Yellow body. Dense rubbery aroma with milky chemical notes. Intense rubbery grainy taste with a disgusting watery mouthfeel, as though it’s been watered down too far. Awful. (0.33l bottle at Akkurat.)

Pale looking beer with fairly thick, tight white head. Quite a strong hop aroma. It’s fresh, clean and a litter bitter with quite some hop and dry cereal notes. Very clean on the pallet and very refreshing.

First time I’ve seen this in the beer store. Green 12 oz bottle and when you pop the lid there are hints of vegatable boiled cabbage, sharp at first. Pour is like any other ubiquitous american lager. In the glass, the aroma becomes much more acceptable and clean. Taste is slightly bitter pilsner that build slowly to a medium bitterness. A more oppressive pilsner, like most of the ones considered ’good’. A mild beer with a building climax of a back in throat bitterness. Good average carbonation and it is welcomed. Personally I like pilsners that are a little laid back, but then would it be a pilsner? Warsteiner Premium Verum is much more acceptable than this as far as bitter impressions go. On par with DAB, St. Paulie and Bittburger.

Bottled (thanks to magic_dave6 for sharing!). Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is skunky hops, saltwater and some malts. Flavour is not much at all, but some weak malty notes. The finish has a big alcohol peak along with some grassyness. Unpleasant, and very watery.

Bottle. Had some time to kill waiting for the ferry to take us to Denmark for the Copenhagen beerfestival, so we brought someting to taste. Got there a little late, and they started embarking a little early, so I tasted and wrote my notes partially when I was driving aboard the ferry. Good thing it was a low ABV beer. Wasn’t much of a drink either. Greenish golden body, clear, with a quickly diminishing white head. The nose was almost completely dominated by lime, but a wee hint of pilsner could be sensed in the background. The flavor was quite limey as well, with some bitterness, and once again, a little note of pilsner in the background. It had a watery, lightly sparkling mouthfeel, and finished with bitterness and lime. It you haven’t had it, you don’t want it. (070510)
