Brewed by Dortmunder Actien Brauerei (Oetker Group)

Dortmund, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Pours a golden color. Lots of carbination, but a quick dissapating head. Very crisp, the carbination is more in line with a Coke, but it is refreshing. I sensed no bitter hoppy aftertaste. Aside of the carbination, I found this no different than your standard Budweiser or Labatt Blue. While you will look different drinking this out of a bottle in a bar or with friends, taste and smell wise, it is no different from many of the other macro-brews available throughout America.

500 ml can. Light clear golden. Throws a thick dense head. Hop aroma is metallic and dry. A little grainy flavour, but throughout a clean flavour. Some bitterness, but not much. Bitter compared to an average pilsener, but still a little disappointing. Aftertaste is mellow with a distant dryness from hops.

Poured a fluffy, pilow-head. Floral and bready taste.Aroma was barely present. Easily drinkable, but perfer Czeh pils to this.

Bottle pours light yellowy-orange and has fluffy head. Hoppy aroma with notes of bready malt.

A very pale blondish beer, very very pale that I was thinking of calling her a pale albino in a ghost suit. A good head that sticked to the glass and let herself slowly go away Her smell was very very shy, cereal, shy hops, more cerealic than anything else. Her taste was quite boring, very sweet, not much body, smooth, decent. Shy aromas of hops, and bread, nothing came out reall

Having not partaken this beverage in quite some time, my best friend gave me a bottle from his Dad’s stash for fixing his computer woes. Letting it cool overnight, the next day (after working up a sweat cleaning the pool) I popped this one open and let my astebuds crank it up. A nice white head with a clear, golden color. A nice aroma of hops gave way to an EXTREMELY drinkable pilsner with hits of malt and a small bite. Clean finish and this one was history in a couple of minutes. Now only if I could get my hands on more of his Dad’s stash...."

Clean aroma with flowery and buttery hints and some graininess. I was gonna say blonde, but blonde is too strong an adjective, this one’s near-clear with a 2cm white head. Initial mouth sensation was grape followed by some hop bitterness. This one really melts in the mouth. Served cool, not cold.

Clear golden, firm head. Lightly floral lightly spicy hop aroma, bready malts. Medium-light in body, solid bitterness, tiny bit stale hop presence. Bitterness is clean and pleasant. This is pretty solid, without being spectacular.
