Bouteille de 500 ml. Arômes légers de malt et de houblon herbeux. Robe blonde, peu de mousse et effervescence ŕ grosses bulles. En bouche, une légčre touche de houblon herbeux accompagne un malt trčs légčrement mielleux et sucré. Finale plutôt douce. Agréable, mais je préfčre les pilsener un peu plus amčres.

Why skunky green bottles?! Why?! I’m sure this would be much better on tap or out of a fresh bottle that hasn’t been light-struck.

500mL bottle. Light aroma. Nice golden colour, quickly disappearing white head. Very refreshing mouthfeel, smooth and crisp. Nice light spiciness. Quick dry aftertaste, which is desirable on a hot day like today, keeps you drinking more. Definitely accomplishes what it strives to do, nice overall. But not very exciting.

Draft at Uber. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow with light carb showing and a bit of filmy grayish head. Has almost no nose, but what’s there is a bit sweet and on the hay side of the pasture. Crisp light watery body, could show a bit more carb. Virtually flavorless, and pretty much without finish. This beer sneaks quietly past you like it just lifted your Rolex.

Budweiser??? Nasty! Oh wait, this is a different kind of Budweiser. Green bottle - uh oh. Bright golden color with a small white head. Aroma of bready/grainy malt and grassy hops - no skunk detectable. Flavor similar, with a really crisp hop bite and no off-flavors. Palate somewhat light and refreshing. Not bad actually.

Bottled. My first time having this beer, the supposed forefather of all modern pale lagers. The influence is clear, though this is doubtlessly a better and more flavorful brew. The aroma retains that distinct skunky/rattiness though so common in cheap lagers which is a bit of a hit, and the drinkability is actually a bit low.

Bottle - Pours a nice bright golden (looks fairly good!). Aroma is clean with a small hint of crispyness and hops. The taste is bitter with notes of metal. I like how it is bitter without an overwhelming flavour of hops and spices, but it still tastes very well balanced. Goes down nice and, of course, extremely refreshing. A great pils.

What a treat to drink this one. A rich yellow colour and a smallish head, plus a moderately hopped aroma. Taste was smooth, clean, crisp, and refreshing.
