A clear golden beer with a white head. Aroma of dry grainy malt, cereals, straw. Taste of very dry grainy malt, cereals, straw. Moderate bitterness.

Grainy fruity beginning. Mild with a moderate bitter finish. Fruity dry, sessionable.

Northern German Pilsener which has apparently been in existence since 1909, coming from a steinie bottle (atypically for a German Pilsener). Bought somewhere around Cologne on our way back from Bavaria to Belgium. Thick and frothy, egg-white, very dense and tiny-bubbled, plaster-like lacing, huge head on a crystal clear, pure yellow blonde beer with slight 'old gold' tinge and some disparate bubbles rising up here and there. Rather weak-ish aroma of white bread dough, raw cereals, field flowers, dried chamomile, hints of moist white pepper, flour, dry bread crumbs, vague notes of chalk and white paper. Clean, neutral onset, minerally carbonation, rounded pale malt graininess and sweetishness with thin white-bready character but feeling clean and pure, increasingly dried by a moderately grassy and floral hop bitterness which spreads out over the back of the palate and lingers for a while, leaving behind a trace of pleasant pepperiness and leafiness. Dry-grainy pale maltiness lingers as well. This may be classified as a premium pale lager here, for me it still belongs to the Northern German Pilsener family, characterised by a drier general profile, more minerality and a more sturdy hop bitterness than its southern (or Czech) counterparts and though it may perhaps not be the very best in this subgenre I had to date, it still ticks all the boxes and remains pure and 'honest' enough to deserve a higher score than the average given here, in my humble opinion. I was in the mood for a few pure and clean German Lagers and this one did not disappoint at all.

Blik 33cl thuis. Caramel, maltig, zoeten, bready, grainy, lichte bittertonen. (8-9-2024).

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Can looks very simple. Beer in the glass with a small head. Starts mild, malty, modest dry. Some metallical notes. Shy spicy, some lemon. Finish could be more balanced. Okay.

Can 33 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque yellow with a tall and lacing, white head. Nice lemonade aroma. Light body, low carbonation with lemon notes and a slight tang. Pleasant enough - real sugar. 300824

Light hop aroma. Clear yellow, small head. Light sweet and medium bitterness. Bitter aftertaste.

Can 33 cl. Pours a clear golden with a lacing, white head. Discreet malt aroma. Thinnish body, solid malts and actually solid hops as well without leaving much bitterness. 240824
