Brewed by Dortmunder Actien Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Dortmund, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Crystal clear golden body with a small frothy white head. Slightly skunked aroma with light caramel and grassy hops. Fairly sweet malty flavor, with a light grassy finish, decent bitter in the end. Light body with moderately high carbonation.

33 cl can, bougth in La Manga, Spain. Clear golden color, disappering white head. Aroma is malty. Flavor is moderate sweet malt and some hoppy bitterness. Too thin.

Pils poured a crystal clear light yellow with a big bright white head w/ a little lacing. To the nose there was scents of corn, sweet malt and a little yeast. First taste was creamy but a little watery. Flavours of malt and a small amount of hopp make up the majority of the taste. Not too bad but boring. Typical weak pils.

Gold pour, weak head back to lace,good carbonation.Aroma hops,bread notes,malt has an uplifting smell,very nice.Flavour lovely hop crispness,nice bitter,has a slight citrus bitterness bit of a tang,dry beer.Good malt comes in at the end with dry and bitter.

bottle. golden. carbonated to foamy white head. mild yeast and spice in aroma. very crisp, mild pepper. dry finish. slightly funky

Can 50 cl. Pours a pale golden with a white head and and unpleasant aroma. For some reason I just don’t seem to get these classic German pilseners. Just like the others I think this tastes more like licking cardboard than like drinking a beer. Don’t like it

For people who love light German lagers, there is nothing quite as disappointing as opening a bottle and smelling a skunk. I do wish beers like this would move more quickly, so as to ensure freshness. Through the skunk I can detect aromas of roust barley malt, with hints of floral scents. Very light straw color. I’ve had this on tap and it has much better head retention, and lacing for that matter. The taste of this bottle hasn’t been totally ruined, it remains crisp, clean, and refreshing. Nice hop bitterness, with plenty of dry malt flavor.

Canette de 500 ml, acheté le 28/2/08 à l’SAQ de Rosemère (Quebec), bu ce soir. Jaune pale typique, pas de collet du tout. Arome métalique de maïs mi-amère. Goût de médicament malté (tout une combinaison), plus fort en alcool et ce serait dégueut!
