Clear pale gold; good yellowish creamy head, leaving lace; Dry grainy nose, some garden herb or moss aroma, a whiff of wet dog. Very dry, sharp-bitter taste, partly hoppy, partly metallic, some vegetable, also walnut peel. Gets sweeter after a while. Warming up, I finally manage to pinpoint an aroma, which has been disturbing me: pure cristalline sulphur. Sharp metallic MF, utterly dry, seems to give a lighter impression than it is. I used to like this one better it would seem. I’m not so sure it’s the beer that has changed, though one never knows. Tastes rather industrial.

(bottle) Dark brown colour with a small creamy off-white head. Slightly sweet malty aroma with hints of roasted malts, caramel and coffee. Bittersweet flavour, medium body. Roastmalty taste with a tinge of bitter chocolate, moderate and quite balanced bitterhoppy finish. A little bit overcarbonated but okay Schwarzbeer.

Bottle: Rather pale golden coloured, thin white lasting head; grassy hoppiness, wet cardboard too, in the aroma; light body, stronger hoppy flavour leading to a distinctive bitter, but not so aromatic finish. Better than the average, O.K., but not the great stuff that it was many years ago..........

(Bottle 33 cl) 2,7% ABV in my version. Very pale, almost greyish, with a very fine, dense head. Lovely malty nose, but naturally not much body. But not a bad brew for it’s style. 150700

(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener golden with a small head. Soft and fresh without the sticky, cardboardish maltyness often found in this type. But naming a non-alchohol beer "Fun" is close to being blaspheming. 240200

Tall column of brilliantly clear golden beer that forms a thick long lasting white head of fine foam. Spicy hop aroma over a light yet firm malt foundation. It comes over the tongue as bitter at first, then some sweetness in the middle with a bit of dryness in the finish. Good crisp, hoppy, refresher. Thanks to Whaleman for sending this!

Bottle. Golden colour, stable white head. The aroma is hoppy for a pils. Nicely malty flavour, very clean and crisp. Good, long bitterness. Late flowery aroma hop aftertaste. An unpretentious and great pils.

Bottle. Dark chestnut brown colour. Unstable head. Flavour of roasted malt. Perhaps some roast barley. Not very full mouthfeel. Tannic aftertaste.
