Bottle, thanks pivnizub. Malt and crackling hop aroma. Pale golden, low lacing white head. Straw malt base with a fairly dry herbal hop counterpoint, citrussy, pine and grass notes. Very dry on the palate, with just a little bit malt sweetness towards the finish. Crisp and powerfull, me like.

Bottle, thanks Pivnizub. Murky golden, some yeast does not go into solution, lowish creamy head. Clay, clove and banana aroma. Lightish body, sparkly. On the dry minrerally and clove-like side. Nutty retronasal. Probably best as a quencher.

Bottle (purchased at the Brauerei): Straw golden, hazy, bigger fluffy to creamy off-white head, slowly collapsing, citrousy-wheaty nose; sourish-sweetish flavour, light to medium bodied; sourish-lemony finish. Not great, but really refreshing....

Bottle (in der Brauerei erworben): Straw golden, small, but persistent white layer, distinctive barley, not really sweet, in the aroma; light to moderate sweetish flavour, underpinned by a light bitterness, soft, almost creamy MF; citrousy traces in the grainy finish, sorrounded by some really shy bitterness. O.K., refreshing, but a bit boring..........

Bottle, thanks pivnizub. Pale golden, creamy head. Cardboardy nose with a little bit aromatic hop play. Fairly light body, ok albeit light malt flavor - but no off notes, a hint of aromatics. Dry finish. I guess on a really hot summer day....

Bottle (purchased at the brewery): Golden, smaller white head, sweet malt, dust and aromatic grassy hops in the nose; light to medium bodied, solid bitter-sweet flavour, solid malty base detectable; slightly lingering - a bit drier - bitter-sweet finish. A good, tasty Pils in the bavarian-bohemian tradition............

(bottle) Hazy, orange colour with a big and dense eggshell-coloured foamy head. Slightly sweet and acidic citrus-fruity nose with yeasty and light wheaty accents, accompanied by a shy but noticeable floral hoppy note. Citrousy, moderately wheaty and yeasty taste; light body impression with a lively carbonated mouthfeel; pretty slim malty and fruity finish.

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a small foamy white head. Light-sweet papery malty nose with light herbal hoppy accents. Light bitter flavour, slim malty base with notes of cardboard; moderately dry, bitter-sweet malty finish with traces of hops. Not a highlight but still drinkable.

(bottle) Clear, mahogany colour with a big, light-beige foamy head. Moderately sweet, roasty malty aroma with cacao, a light touch of citrus in combination with an aromatic hoppy blend. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Moderately roasted malty taste with notes of cacao and caramel; sweet and slightly bitter finish with a light herbal hops character. Another goodie from Freudenberg.
