Holsten Pilsener

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

Light golden, nice white head. Aroma is grassy with some hops, bread and malts. Bready flavor, an ok pilsener, but not more.

Golden color, light fruity aroma and taste, light body, light watery dry finish.

quite serviceable actually, when all you want is a dry pils. grainy malt and grassy hop, with however industrial metallic bitterness. still, better than i remembered it.

5.2% version!?. Very pale golden colour with a short lasting white head. Lemony hops on the nose, lemon citrus taste as well as some soapy oiliness and metallic notes, fairly good carbonation, some bitterness but not enough to get extra points from me.

Aroma is light hoppy, carbonic acid, and also metallic from the can. Not much sweetness, and a touch of bitterness. Light yellow-straw clear with white pillowy lacing head with decent retention. Medium-light watery body with low carbonation. Starts with light acidity and no bitterness. Clean. Finish is still acidic, but now with light-medium bitterness and a bit chalky. After is medium-heavy bitterness, some metallic qualities. No sweetness anywhere, but pretty good hops flavor. Wouldn't say no to it on a hot day.

What's German for "Swill"? Amazingly priced the same as good imports, this brew will never grace my mouth again. Metallic, flat and watery. Proof that bad beer is universal.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear light yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cereal, grain), lightly hoppy (herbs), with a hint of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, slightly husky. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

A fairly mellow pilsner with a reasonable bitterness. Drinkable but unexciting. Too thin.
