11.2 oz green bottle. Besides Dortmunder Gold, one of my favorite beers, I don’t know if I’ve had any other in this style. Pours a very light, pale, clear yellow Pilsner color with a big soapy white head with good retention. Aroma is hoppy, slightly skunked, pilsner malt. Much more Pilsner like than expected. Not bad though, aroma-wise. Taste is watery, pretty bland, clean and flavorless. Bitterness is very low. This is basically a less bitter Pilsner. If for some reason you wanted to drink a large amount of beer in a short amount of time with great ease, this is your beer. I’ll stick with the better Dortmunder and Pilsners out there.

Pours pale golden, white fizzy head. Not much on the nose here. Maybe somehop and yeast. Tastes mainly of grassy hops, some sweetish malt which balances nicely. A decidedly average beer, but not a bad beer.

Sua espuma, alva, tem aparência inicial média e irregular e reduzida longevidade. Seu corpo amarelo-claro apresenta boa claridade e boa formação de colarinho, além de densidade rala. O aroma apresenta toques de pão claro, malte tostado e moderada presença de lúpulo. O sabor, permeado por toques de mel durante todo o gole, é levemente doce e amargo no início, mantendo as mesmas características no final, este de longa duração. O paladar também não apresenta maiores surpresas: corpo leve, de textura aguada, forte carbonatação e final com gosto de giz.

Light golden colour, little or no aroma. Taste is weak almost watered. Bland, forgettable beer.

500ml Can -Golden in colour with a foamy white head. Malty aroma with grain and a twist of lemon. Malty taste with a moderate bitterness and some very light citrus hints. A bit bland but drinkable.
