330 ml bottle from Total Wine. Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a white head and very good retention. Good lacing too. Basic pale malt aroma with no sulfur notes. The taste follows the nose: Standard pale malt flavor with a hint of Euro water. Lightly sweet, clean, and smooth. A decent everyday lager. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Light bitterness.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Wolfgang - thank you very much!]. Opalescent, orange golden colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grainy, pale malty and slightly strawy, grassy, minimally resinous, hoppy aroma. Taste is minimally grainy, pale malty with some residual sweetness, grassy and slightly resinous, minimally herbal hoppy, a touch of nettle, resin. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Fairly hoppy, still quite mild - nice.
