5.5/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
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..................

Die grüne Flasche und das Etikett sehen ziemlich billig aus, billig riecht auch das Bier, wässrig und nur leicht hopfig. Die leichte Bittereinheit im Antrunk bleibt auch im Mittelteil weitestgehend bestehen, zudem kommt ein leicht hopfiges Aroma hinzu. Im Nachgeschmack soll wohl eine dezente mälzerne Note erschmeckbar sein, die allerdings vom metallernen Aroma übertüntscht wird. Trinkbar. Test vom 19.12.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,8,8,6,6,8 - 7,60

Der Geruch verspricht ein einigermaßen gutes Bier, der Geruch ist herb-frisch, wie man ihn auch von einigen anderen Bieren dieser Art kennt, aber auch leicht fruchtig. Das Aroma geht soweit in Ordnung, auch wenn der Geruch mehr versprochen hatte. Säuerlich und metallern im Mittelteil, im Nachgeschmack dann einigermaßen herb. Test vom 18.12.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,6,5,7,2,5 - 5,60

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............!
