Pours a pale, light hazy yellow with a great, creamy white head. Aroma is lightly sweet, some grass and flowers. Lightly fruity as well. Flavour is lively pilsnermalts at first. Quite sweet base with a good grassy hops finish. Good, but still not fantastic.

(Bottle, thanks to rickgordon) Somewhat hazy golden color, nice lasting white head. Grassy, hoppy aroma, some peas and some fruits. Grassy and metallic flavor, bready notes. Quite bitter and with a nice grassy finish.

(Bottle thanks rickgordon!) Pours hazy yellow with green hints and a nice stable head. The aroma is of new cut grass and herb like hops along with some almost spicy/piny elements in the undertones. Nice malty background with bread up front, but also some hay. Light fruity with hints of red/yellow apples, apricot and hints of pineapple. Some floral notes along with some dew and dough are notable. The flavour is full of grassy and light herb-ish hops, and then a subtle fruitiness leads the way to the medium bitter finish. A floral touch is present. Good malty complexity with bread and hay up front. Spicy hops linger in the aftertaste along with a lemony sting. The mouthfeel is light crisp, soft and round. Medium bodied. A very good pils, if not the best.

Had a few times over the last few months. The most recent was at Gingerman in NYC. Pours a nice (slight chill haze at first, but clears up) good carbonation and fluffy lasting white head. Aroma is mostly on the doughy malt side this time, the hops have faded out a bit but still there- earthy and spicy saaz like. Flavor is again more on the doughy malty side with hops fading quickly- fresh it was nice and floral, spciy hoppy- now the malt comes throuhg and almost playdough like dn cream of wheat character- with a light bitter finish. Used to be much better when it was first improted in the fall, and even then I wasnt even that impressed. Maybe I need to have it fresh in Italy. A bit over-rated Id say.

Bottled. Thx rickgordon. Hazy golden woth a longlasting, white head. Grassy and hoppy in both aroma and flavour. Fine bitterness and some fruitiness aswell. Also some vegetable-notes.

(75 cl bottle, thanks rickgordon!)
Shady pale yellow color, white head. Vegetable and malty scent, also grass and hints of fruitiness. Hoppy bitterness and vegetable taste. Medium mouthfeel and bitterenss. I can imagine it is a lot better draught, but still seems overrated for my taste.

Bottle (75 cl), thanks to rickgordon. Hazy golden with a small white head. Bready and dusty malt aroma with fresh grassy hops. Light to medium bodied with good carbonation. Long bitter finish. Quite good.

One nice pils. I can understand why it is the highest rated pils around. Aroma is bgrassy hops with bready notes as well. Flavor is very similar. Finishes with a nice spicy crispness. Cleanses the palate nicely.
