Nov 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours a very pale straw, with a sweet malt nose. Clean malt flavor, with a somewhat bright and sweet middle taste. Finishes dry and crisp. A fine example of the style.

Nov 7, 2007 Bottle from Sam’s Wine and Spirits. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Grainy cereal malty nose that reminds me and my wife of Germany. Cereal, lemon, grain flavors. Finishes dry with a touch of sweetness. Decent helles.

Nov 2, 2007 Clean "pilsner" aroma. Very pale and somewhat hazy with thin creamy head that leaves lacing all the way down. Crisp and somewhat sweet with a very slight lemon finish. Great mouthfeel at first, but could stick around a little longer.

Oct 28, 2007 Beautiful hazy golden pour with a frothy snow white head. Mild fruity aroma and crisp, dry flavor. Not Ayinger’s best, but that’s only because the bar is so high. This is a solid beer.

Oct 28, 2007 Golden, huge frothy head, longlasting, decent lacing. Very floral aroma, light citrus and skunk, pale/pils malt background. Flavor much the same, floral up front, light citrus and skunk. All pils malt through the middle and finish. Very chewy on the palate. Not sure how this lagered, while full of flavor, isn’t very clean, crisp, etc.

Oct 20, 2007 500ml bottle.
I piss darker than this. But not quite as frothy. Canonical clean crisp lager aroma - complete with a perfumed maltiness. Taste unfortunately matches that rather well. Nothing actually wrong with it, but deep down it’s still just a lager. Many beer wish they were this.

Oct 20, 2007 330ml bottle bought in Aying last summer (bb.Dec.07). Pours a palish straw body under a small white foam. Good glass-lacing. Fresh aroma of grassy hops on a light malty background. The flavour has got a moderate punch of sappy lemons turning into more hoppy accents. Additional hops on the swallow. Clean tasting. Surly one of the best of the style (Tromsø, 19.10.2007).

Oct 16, 2007 Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold with a strong white head. The taste is a mix of hops, fruit, a bready quality and a dry malty flavor. A nice beer.
