Clear golden colour with stable head. It's a simple but well balanced malty lager. Rounded dry bitterness in the aftertaste. It's ok.

Unfiltered Pilsener (and so almost automatically a Landbier of sorts in German beer nomenclature); from a small brewery in a village in Bavaria, more specifically the Fränkische Schweiz region. Swingtop bottle of 50 cl from Dranken Geers. Thick and foamy, egg-white, frothy, tightly plaster-lacing, stable, pillowy head on a very faintly hazed, warm 'old gold'-tinged deep yellow blonde robe with disparate but active sparkling. Aroma of white bread dough, field flowers, semolina, breakfast cereals without the iron, freshly cut grass, unripe green pear, vague hints of dry cookies, flour and minerals. Vaguely sweetish onset with equally vague sourish undertone (green apple) but evidently very low in fruitiness, rounded and lean mouthfeel with lively, minerally sparkling, but nowhere overcarbonated like most macro-brewed industrial lagers; slick and almost somewhat oily white-bready maltiness with grainy edges, adding something flour-like, remaining restrainedly sweetish and clean till a grassy, floral hop bitterness comes in near the end, at just the right moment, making for a dry, bit rooty ending nodding at quinine and bitter weeds. This hop bitterness lasts quite long and almost, but not quite, overrules the relative sweetness of the malts - a key feature of most good German Pilseners in my book. Executing the sheer simplicity of this style to perfection is not an easy task, but this one, in existence only since 2007, manages to connect with its own 19th-century heritage of southern German Pilseners, when the style was still young and bastardized, watered down, 'fake' versions of it did not yet flood the world; this Pilsener is pure and sleek, but has flavours and subtleties scattered throughout which you will never find in a macro-brewed standard pale lager. It is, in fact, indecent to compare a Pilsener like this to that vast ocean of bland 'wet air' beers - this is Pilsener the way it was intended and for me an excellent example of the style. It has been a long time since I had a German Pilsener of this class and quality level. Prost, auf Herrn Kugler!
