Bottled. Clear golden, rich airy head. Buttery aroma with cellar tones. Sweet with notes of diacetyl, medium body and some very light grassy bhops. Medium bitterness. Solid, but with some off-flavours.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Week malty and hoppy aroma. OK but week flavor. Short finish. You can sense it is made from better stuff than "ekstra Lager", but it is still an ordinary beer.

Hopfig-herb startet das Bier, etwas malig ist es dann im Mittelteil. Mit dem Hintergedanken, dass hier noch Zucker zusätzlich dabei ist, lässt sich die hier etwas künstlich wirkende Süße recht gut deuten. Der Nachgeschmack ist völlig charackterlos, das minimal bittere Aroma verflüchtigt sich direkt. Das Bier soll eindeutig die Massen ansprechen, ich könnte dieses Bier eigentlich auch mit einem Heineken ersetzen, der "Laie" würde wohl keinen Unterschied merken. Schade, sowas (Sowohl die Auswechselbarkeit als auch der Geschmacksinn mancher :-) ). Test vom 30.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,6,7,2,14,5

Bottled. Golden color, small white head. Grassy Saaz-hoppy and burnt sugar aroma. Malty, quite sweet, some harshness. Beer’s taste is more like helles than pilsner. Quite sweet, but balanced malty basic lager.
