50 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Edeka, Kleve.
Clear golden with a white head. Grainy bready aroma with some faint hops. Sweet taste with a medium bitter finish. Standard Dortmunder but there's nothing wrong with that.

Pale gold, not much head. Bland, light beer, quasi pilsner. Just a touch of herbal hops. Low bitterness, and some malt sweetness. Bit of green apple.

Deep golden colour, with gentle carbonation and a decent head. Bready and worty malt aroma, with a light herbaceous hop note. The body is decent. Malt character is lightly bready, but also a bit on the sticky side. Minimal hop expression. A touch of alcohol shows through the finish. It's decent, honestly, not a great maibock but not bad.

0,33 l bottle. Clear golden, small one finger white head. Grassy grainy smell, some malt, straw and lemon. Taste starts with bitter hop, straw and grain, dry malt, not very complex but drinkable. Long lasting bitter aftertaste. Okay.

Can at the flat in Sofia - picked up from the Billa at the Paradise Shopping Center. Pours clear, deep brown with a creamy, khaki head. Lightly sweet with well toasted brown bread, a little burnt caramel, burnt cardboard, a little earth. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more mellow earthy bitterness, light cocoa, burnt toast. So so.

Bottle picked up from REWE in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and consumed at home Wednesday 3rd November 2021, listening to My Bloody Valentine - Loveless in full on 6Music inducted into Steve Lamaqs classic album club. Clear very pale straw in colour with a white head, superb clarity, looks fab'. Grainy with a sweetness, smooth, a little bit dry, soft moutheel. It's not the best Pilsner but I really don't mind it at all.

Bottle, from Famila. Pours very murky yellow-orangeish color, thick spent white head, lasting, lacing. Malty upfront. Flavor is doughy and yeasty dominated by juicy malts, kinda molasses or honey for a mild stickyness and relatively dense body, while carbonation is soft for a fine fizzines on the palate. All this comes well balanced with a fresh fruity and spiced note, in the range of orange peel and an hint of blackberries. Overall on the sweetish side, but balanced and delicately bitter in the finish. Smooth texture, with an unexpectedly pleasing finish. Nice.
