Holsten Pilsener

Brewed by Holsten-Brauerei (Carlsberg)
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Hamburg, Germany

This is very similar to the premium lager in every respect, perhaps even more bitterness in the finish. A solid german-style lager.

Strong bitter taste, hops notes and nice grainy finish. Very refreshing, drinks well; just over the average of German pilsners.

Nice head to this one, but pretty average in flavor, nothing bad at all though, light grassiness, some malt, some bitterness, on occasion, cheap in my area of Germany, but otherwise, its a pass on this one. Average.

Light amber with light white head. Sweet grassy skunk likesmelling beer. Bitter flavor finished as a malt.

Bottle: Light yellow colour, with a medium thik white foam. Aroma of graysy and seet malt and hops. This was a bit difficult to write down wat i notise here, but i go fuhter. Tasty hops whom go a way fast, and the sweetnes from the malt(?) is domininated.Light to medium body, but have a short bitter finish.

(bottle, German version) Clear, pale golden colour with a mid-sized bubbling white foamy head. Slightly herbal and grassy hop-aroma with a grainy touch. Light bitter flavour, light bodied, crispy mouthfeel. Hoppy and slightly malty taste, dry and moderately bitter hoppy finish which is quite clean without the expected metallic tinge. Definitely less than decent but still a drinkable but also unsatisfying Pils.

Can with a yellow label. Pours a light straw yellow with med-high carbonation and a thin white fizzy head. Aroma is that of a crappy american lager- some metal, dms, and corn. Tastes watered down, some light malt, moslty corn, metal, cabbage, and a harsh metallic-hop bitterness in the end. Bad stuff.

Can brought to Sweden from Germany by a friend of mine. Clear light golden color, big white fluffy head. Faint malty scent. Easy to drink, low bitterness. Almost no taste, a bit fruity aftertaste.
