(bottle) Clear golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head. Honeyish malty aroma with a strong herbal hoppy note, also slightly grassy. Bittersweet flavour, only a short and dry maltiness upfront, medium body, medium to low carbonation; uncommonly strong bitter finish, even for a Maibock, with a nice herbal hoppiness. Not particularly round and complex, but very tasty and deceptive.

Pours yellow into a pilsner. Large conglomerate head. Leaves some lacing as it recedes. Dough and hay aromas. Bitter with very light carbonation. Long bitter finish. Very refreshing.

Bottled. Golden with a small white head. Malt and hay in aroma and flavor. Sticky mouthfeel. Better than the typical N/A-beer. And N/A-beers are not fun, so I think they should rename it. (051209)

Bottled. Golden beer with a white head. Nice carbonation. Malty and hoppy aroma and flavor. Very bitter all the way, not the normal pilsner. Crisp finish. Rating: 5-3-5-3-12-2.8. 051209

Can. As I said above. Piney, resiny and lightly peppery. Bready pale malts and some hay. Medium body, semi-dry and with a very nice bitterness. Seems these pilsners have grown on me, even though I always liked them, at least I've raised my score significantly. 240817

(Bottle 33 cl) Very black - almost opaque - with a decent, slightly off-white head. Nice, full body with lots of roasted malts. Smooth and pleasant and not as ashy dry as some Schwarzbiers. Comes in an unusual body with the label printed on to it. 210403

12 oz bottle - The ratings led me to believe this would be a pretty decent brew, but I’m really not impressed. Like most pilsners I’ve had, the flavor is weak. This one has a stronger aftertaste than most, but it’s not a pleasant aftertaste. It’s not that it’s too bitter. I enjoy some considerably more bitter beers. The aftertaste just seems off somehow. I don’t know, maybe my bottle was old. There are too many great beers out there to bother with this one again.

Bottled (BB 09/2006)
Pale golden color with white head. Typical N/A skunky hoppy aroma. Plastic grassy N/A flavor, quite tasteless. Harsh bitterness, but watery aftertaste. Not totally hopeless N/A anyhow.

Pours a very pale golden color. Thin to medium white head that lasts a while. Classic german pilsener hoppiness. An average to good pilsener.

Canned(500ml). - there is nothing fun in this beer, just some unpleasant bittered water with light hop extract, repulsive harsh aftertaste
