(bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a foamy white medium head. Grassy hop aroma with grainy malts. Bitter flavour, light to medium body, crispy carbonation. Initially moderately sweet malty, grainy taste, a bit papery. Quite slim and grassy hoppy, slightly bitter finish. Decent German Pilsener, not bad at all.

Bottle: Sweetish, malty (almost a bit vinous !!!) aroma, rather quickly diminishing small fluffy off-white head; sweet flavour with a faint bitterness; slightly malty-sweetish finish with a distinctive, moderate bitterness, coming quite late: Not great, but not unpleasant, well drinkable mild Alt..................

Canned. Yellow colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Malty and hoppy nose with some sweetish hints. Flavour is sweet malty and alcohol and some hops. Also some hayish dryness in finish and aftertaste. Quite balanced, but a bit too grassy aftertaste.

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour, mediumsized white foamish bubbly head, a little lace. Cooked vegetables as well as skunked hops in aroma. Cooked vegetables, malts and quite strongly hopped finish. Not much aftertaste in this one. Watery and quite standard "bulk" stuff.

Pour is a bright yellow with a white head. Aroma is slightly grainy and metallic. Flavor is not bad. Good clean amount of grass hops and roasted malts. Nothing to really go look for but worth a try. I only tried this b/c i needed a 6th to fill out my mix a six pack.

Bottle: Quite pale golden coloured, mid-sized, slowly vanishing and lacing white head; distinctive sweet malty nose with a tinge of grassy and also floral (!) hoppiness; soft, but distinctive bitter flavour; crisp, short, dry bitter finish. A better "industrial" Pils, decent and not so bland and boring like many others...............................

Bottle: Pale golden, thin quickly vanishing head; sourish, a bit grainy nose; very faint bitter flavour; short, very short, grainy finish. Pretty tasteless, cruel diet............!

(Bottle 33 cl) Sometimes diet pilseners can be a very sad experience - fortunately that’s not quite the case here. Neatly pilsener golden but completely lacking head. Fairly good body with some decent hops in the finish. Not so much fuss, a decent brew without too many flaws in spite of being low in calories. 151202
