Shared a can with Bullit. Never had the guts to buy this beer from the supermarket ;). But actually it’s not that bad. Clear yellow color, big white head. Aroma of some hop, bit floral. Bitter taste. Quite average.

Clear golden colour, big white lasting head. Flat aroma. Standard pilsener, not much of an aftertaste; moderately bitter.

I’ll assume this is the correct one. Tap at Laschet’s. Very neutral standby beer, in my opinion. Nice taste, nothing to frown on here. Tasty.

Not much of an aroma...smelled of light hops but not very detectable. Pour was a dark gold with a thin ring for a head...very disappointing for a pilsener. Thick mouthfeel with moderate carbonation...can’t really detect anything in there. There is a faint hops taste in the very very bakground. Wet finish that was too thick for me.

Aroma very weak for a Pilsener. Flavour mostly malty, hops are very weak, flavor is overall weak. Fairly sweet and only faintly bitter. I do not think this really tastes like a Pilsener. This is a weak beer that is only a hair above most American macro-brews, in my opinion. I see no real difference between this brew and one of the better American "Pale Lagers" such as Yuengling. To its credit, it has no metallic taste, and only a slight macro-sourness to it.

Pretty standard German pils. Had the U.S. version, imported by Binding. Tastes more like the German Binding than a Dortmunder-style beer. Crisp, dry, more malty than hoppy.

Can (unfortunately), poured a milky and pale yellow with a bubbly white head that last half a second. A sweet aroma of honey, but of nothing really, not too skunky for me. A light mouthfeel with a strong hop presence.A finish is not great, sharp and sickly.
