Sampler from bottle at Binny’s, Orland Park, This must just now be appearing in America. A great pilsener malt color, to be sure. Like any imported light lager, I suspect a lot of the spicy hop oils have gone away. So I taste a balanced bitterness to the malts, but not much more. Guess it’s not fair to seek out good imported pilseners, but I’m still in the hunt.

Draught at Christian Firtal, Odense. ABV was 5%, like the brewery website says. Very nice Saazer aroma, flowers and honey, some fruit too. Reasonably well balanced flavour with a tolerable maltiness and decent hops which linger through the aftertaste.

Draught at Christian Firtal, Odense. Dark ruby colour when held to the light. A bit fizzy. Moderate aroma of caramel malts. Flavour is moderately sweet with caramel and chocolate notes. Hints of blackcurrants. Some hops in the finish, more than in many other dunkels.

(Bottle 50 cl) A "Kräuterbier" - that is a beer presumably with added herbs. Clear, pretty, dark brown with a small, beige head. Lots of caramel and malt in the flavour. And the exact same characteristics are found in the flavour. No traces of the herbs though - and they don’t appear on the list of ingredients either. 280705

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A hazy red beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with some notes of metal, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and a dry metallic end.

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A golden beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet malty, and the flavor is also sweet, but this time very malty, leading to a dry hoppy end. A very crisp fresh pilsener.
