Feb 2010: Brown 0.5 litre bottle, drank and reviewed with two months left towards the ’Best before Date’. Poured into my Veltins stemmed tulip three times (the glass is a 0.2 Litre one). Light gold, light for an Export/Dort, the pure white head makes it look even more like a lager/pilsner. Each pour produced the same well formed head, each in turn left some good lacing on the glass. You have to hunt for a smell, some grainy aromas and not much else, a mini hop and yeast esters if your nose is good, otherwise nothing. The taste doesn’t have the sharpness and depth the better Dorts have, more a pleasant pilsner than a heavy export beer. So, light in colour, light in body and flavours. It is a good enough beer, but isn’t the greatest for style, if it was a pilsner the scores would have been higher.

Green 0.5 litre bottle, best before the end of Nov 2011, poured into two Veltins badged stemmed tulip glasses late Oct 2011. Looks the archetypal Pilsner, clear, clean and bright: golden and light. On top the usual white top which never really has any staying power and goes before the beer gets to your lips. The smell is grainy grass and not much else. A very dry Pilsner, otherwise not much going on. Crisp, sharp and refreshing, not the No1 Pilsner, just an average one.

50cl bottle pours clear gold with thin white head. The mild aroma is sweet with sugar malts and then picking up faint notes of noble hops and just a sense of grainy maltiness. The taste starts with a pleasing spicy bitterness that’s soon joined by a mild amount of floral hops. Thankfully the spicy hops persist and provide a nice level of bitterness and do a good job keeping the modest level of sweet malts in check. Overall a spicy hop forward Pils.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts intense hoppy-dry, a bit metallically. Finish a bit moldy-hoppy, still metallically. Okay.

Bottled 500ml. -from Bier Imperium, Vienna. Yellow coloured, medium sized airy white head, bready herbal nose. Lively carbonation. Bready, slight herbal and a bit metallic specially in the finish. Boring and (below) average beer.

Fresh. Light. Basic. (This beer rating was imported from FB and unfortunately lacks any further comments.)

Bottle courtesy of ogivlado (thanks!) Poured a pale golden body with a big white head. Grainy, dusty, herbal nose, quite sharp. More of the same in the taste, slightly salty, slightly bready. A generic Export. Yay.

Bereits der Antrunk ist künstlich. Später wird dies noch deutlich intensiver. Glücklicherweise ist das Bier dabei nur wenig süß, so kommt immerhin ein wenig Herbe hervor. Im hinteren Mittelteil künstlicher, im Abgang dann zusätzlich pappig. Nicht süß, daher immerhin ok. 8/7/8/8/7/7
