12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 4/28/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale straw color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of lemon, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. A bit fruity/yeasty, but not overwhelming. Taste of lemon, cracker, white bread, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Good amount of herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, cracker, white bread, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance. A little lingering hop astringency, but not overwhelming. Moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Nicely clean on lager flavors, with minimal yeast notes presence. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/sticky/grainy, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is a very good German pilsener style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; despite the fairly strong lingering bitterness. This was more bitter than I expected, but not overwhelming at all. A very enjoyable offering, and good style example.

Bottled 750ml. -Courtesy of Iznogud, shared with him and Marko. Dark amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, spicy yeasty nose. Alcohol, yeast, light caramel, lots of spices and whiff of cinnamon with rather malty finish. Quite nice and interesting.
