Perfectly clear, golden-brass body. Head is white, thick and lasts through the entire drink. Smells of german hops and slightly skunked malts. Taste is watery, however sweet and bready. Lots of dough and yeast flavors and just a hint of fresh,crisp hops appear at the very end of the taste. This beer would benefit from more powerful, bitter hops.

If it smells like piss, looks like piss, and tastes like piss, it must be DAB. Damn Awful Beer.

Medium gold – a good, average colour for a lager. Not very much on the nose; some sweet tones and faint whiff of acidity, but none of the grain and malt you can usually pick out of a beer of this style. It’s fairly sweet-tasting as well, with some malt on the back end, but there’s a disappointing lack of grain and hop character. Lacks personality.

Hey for all of you looking for that, nice cheap import to keep handy when your non- appreciative friends show up! This is your beer! Crisp, light flavor, non offensive in general! 12pack was $7.29 in Farm Fresh! You can’t beat it with a stick!!

355ml bottle. first impression is this is pale and crystal clear and spritzy like the mega brews. It did have a 2 figer cap that laced moderately as it reduced. Aroma was nice.... grassy, herbal-mint hops over a whiff of bready malts..... body is dry/effervescent and hop pronounced..yet there is enough malt backbone bucking against the hopped bitters to make this a good light German Lagered pilsner ....finally in the finish as the hops are turning almost medicinal, the malt breaks out and a wonderful light bready taste comes off in the finish. A great German Pils and I love the malts in this one...I rate ip up there with Budvar.

1 Gallon, 41 oz. Keg >> light yellow, small white head. Sugary sweet aroma and taste. Some hints of lemon/orange, but definately not strong. Not great, not terrible. Could definately take down a few on a humid evening in southern Indiana.
