May 2009: Really pleased when I found this beer on the holiday island of Skiathos, thought I’d found a gem, sadly it didn’t go down that well. 500ml can with 18 months life left, poured into two tumblers on the balcony of my Studio, what a view. I was expecting a lovely deep dark golden Dortmunder Export, I got a pale pilsner looking body with a good white head on top, pale even for a good Dort. No aroma, not even a hop or malt to be found. Dry and boring, weak hop and yeast flavours, but you have to rweally search for them. I thought it thin and watery for a 5.0% beer, it lacked something. Not enough body or depth. A poor Dort in all respects.

Updated rating. Bottle @ holiday weekend in Germany. Clear yellow golden color, medium sized white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is quite refreshing, some malts, hops and a bit hayish. Taste malts, hay, light bitter hops, light bitter. Decently refreshing.

Very pale yellow colour, decent white head. Smells malts, grains, sweet, hay. Tastes very malty, sweet and bitter in a not nice way. Okay carbo, thin body.

A refreshing pilsener. Crisp and clean but with a nice bite of bitter hop in the finish.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Thanks troubles. Clear golden. Aroma of malt, graininess and a bit of metal. Sweetish grainy flavor with a drier and slightly metallic finish. Light-bodied.

Yay, I really didn’t try this! Eh, right, Café Wagner, Jena. Generally aroma free, maybe some malt. Taste-wise it’s water flavored with something bitterish, maybe herbal. Let’s call that hops. Nothing else. Meh, cheap.

50cl bottle. Poured golden with a frothy white head that quickly disappeared. Aroma is grassy hoppy and weak malty. Flavor is sweet malt, grassy hops and a biting bitter finish. Quite good pilsener, crisp, nice mouthfeel, Thin body though.
