5.9/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 5.5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Pours clear, lighter blonde. Small , medium stable white head. Scent is very mild. Whiff of pilsner malts. Taste is farily bitter. Crisp, fresh, yet a bit sweet and diacetyl-like finish (I didn't really get diacetyl in the nose though) Maltyness is pleasant, so is the bitterness. if only it were (quite) a bit more dry, it would actually be very enjoyable.

6.8/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
Pours clear, lighter blonde. Small white , fairly soapy head. Scent is typical lager, slight DMS, not as crisp and vibrant as the better examples tend to be. Taste is rather crisp though, at the start. Fairly bitter as well. Slight DMS but otherwise rather clean . Medium expressive yeast. Slight sweetness (background) . Restrained intensity, not as bready / malty as hoped, more about the bitterness. Not the best, sure, but given the low ratings prior to mine here, I expected it to be far worse.
