Pours golden with a wispy white head. Aroma is herbs, cereal grains, metallic. Taste is off, with expanding staleness. Finish is dry, slight bready with grassy hoppy. Light to medium bodied with high carbonation. Not bad, but not enjoyable.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with a decent, white head. Very soft, sweet malty body with a wee perfumy touch and a pleasant freshness. 020301

Bottle. Dark yellow with a thick foamy white head. That pils aroma hops and iron was there and the body had plenty of hops and a metallic taste. Dry finish. Decent example of pils.

Not what I expected from the title, dortmunder, guess I mistook the brand for the beer type. lighter and not as skunky as other greenies

A decent pilsener, creamy, straw yellow and lots of white foamy head, yet lacking aroma and thin mouthfeel. Grassy, crisp Dry taste, bitterness on backbone, highly carbonated, above average malting,

Pale gold appearance. Aroma had a hint of apple, but otherwise was weak. Malty taste that was a bit on the sweet side. Light bodied, decently carbonated, but not enough qualities to distinguish itself.

Bottled. A good, refreshing golden coloured pilsner that reminds me of the better dutch lagers. Nice sweetness and citrus flavours balanced by a bit of hoppiness. Resonable head: tight and frothy.

This one surprised me because it was not what I expected after reading the reviews. It is light but not super watery like most. The aroma is a light roasted malt with a light herbal hop. The appearance is a copper gold that is darker than most pilsners. The flavor is mild but full. The taste is a cereal malt, toffee, and light hops. Malt aftertaste.
