Poured from bottle. I assumed this was a pilsener and while I noticed the hops, it’s a lot less bitter than expected. Has a nice balance and finishes well. A good one for a hot, summer day.

From a twelve ounce green (YIPES!) bpttle purchased at the Western Hills Krogers - This one pours a golden (not orange, Stueyd), effervescent brew with a tall, quickly diminishing white head and a bready aroma with slight citrus note. Well, this is pretty much just another Eurolager to me, albiet a good one... NOW GET RID OF THE FREAKING GREEN BOTTLES!

Golden to orange coloured beer with a frothy white head. The nose is light, but abundant in citrus hops, there is some cereal, biscuity malt in the background. The taste is slightly dry, with loads of hop flavour, a little tinny perhaps! There is a hint of biscuity, cereal malt towards the end. (Draught, by the mass(!) - @ the Hofbräuhaus, Munich, Germany).

On tap at Hofbrauhaus, Munich. Good Lager, which is flavoursome and quenching. Fizzy, smooth and I wish I could have managed more...

Bottle. Bright gold with white head. Tangy malt nose with some faint grassy hops in the background, along with some lemony notes. Clean, smooth, slightly-sweet malt palate, with a bit of a sour aftertaste, all without being watery. Tasty, and real drinkable.

Bottled. Pale golden colour, small white head. Aroma is malts and hops with some hay and vegetables in it. Flavour is pleasant malts and hops with hints of dry sour fruits. Refreshing!

[Bottled]. Clear golden color, small white head. Grainy malty aroma, a bit papery. Malty, clean and balanced, but quite uninspiring (although solid) dortmund/helles. Some grassy notes in the finish.

12 oz bottle. Golden beer with a thick white head. Very fresh malty character (surprising given the source and the green bottle). Very bready with some soft toastiness. Flavour is sweetly malty but has a beautiful floral hop flavour on the back. Toast and flowers linger for a long time throughout. Very clean tasting, light minty quality. Really surprisingly good.
