0.33l bottle a friend brought me from Wien (thanks a lot Ivana!), shared with heavy Poured a golden body with a medium sized head. Lighter malty nose, again a bit honeyish. A bit light malty, honeyish and fruity taste balanced by a light (again) but persistent and biting herbal hopiness. A fine enough lager, but I prefered the Pils and, as some have said, too weak a taste for 5.6%.

0.33l bottle brought from Wien by a friend (thanks a lot, Ivana!) Poured a pale golden body with a small white head. Malty nose, a bit honeyish. The taste then proceeds to be completely different. Quality spicy-piney hopiness, with malt being there as an afterthought. A fine bitter pils, much better than I hoped or expected it would be, but far too one dimensional to be a world beater.

0.33 l green bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thank a lot for sharing! It poured lighter golden body with medium sized head. Fine marzen aroma, flower malty with some grass hops. Flavor was less interesting, although pleasant, nicely balanced between sweet and bitter, quite thin bodied, and as such pretty boring. Finish of medium duration was pleasantly sweetish, malt dominating. Quite good for marzens, but nothing special, well I don’t like the style too much anyway.

0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, whom I thank for sharing! It poured pale yellow body with small head. Weak, quite marzen-like aroma, malty with strange, artificial sweetness. Flavor is completely different story though, bitter with interesting spicy hops, quite pleasant. Some honey and flower malt in the background, pleasant. Let’s say it’s thin bodied, but its distinct character balance it so you won’t have a watery impression. Finish is shorter, bit more bitter in dry way, but still pleasant. An OK pilsener, I liked it.

Bottle in Vienna, 2006. Brilliant, crystal clear golden color with very fine, thick head. Very strong aroma of hops and malt as well. Very appetizing. Very hoppy flavor. Medium malt richness. Not much depth and not at all sweet. Very dry. Slightly spicy. A bitter, dry, hop finish. A very nice dry pils.

(bottle) Clear, chestnut-brown colour with a thick and persistent beige foamy head. Sweet roast-malty aroma with intense notes of caramel and cacao. Slightly sweet flavour with burnt bitter notes, light to medium bodied, although it has only 4.5% abv, Solid toast-malty taste with caramel and cacao/chocolate; rather dry, sweet-bitter, malt-accented and toasty finish. Balanced and hearty Dunkel (26.08.08).

(bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a loose foamy white head. Moderately sweet and bready malty nose with herbal hoppy spice. Bitter flavour, medium bodied with a crispy carbonation. Bready, cara-malty and slightly buttery taste with distinctive herbal accents; dry and moderately sweet malty finish with a rounded level of hoppy bitterness. Surprisingly aromatic brew with Bohemian attributes (12.08.08).

0.5ll can brought from Austria by a friend (thanks Ivana!) Slightly darker golden body, thick medium sized white head that went away at a medium pace. Grainy malt in the nose, light honey. Malty taste, grainy and fruity (going orange), kinda likable, at least to me. Not much hop, very light lemony acidity. I usually like pale lagers that taste like this but this isn’t one of the more quality specimens. Ok enough!
