Holsten Pilsener

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

From bottle. Yet another beer which I’ve drank many times, easy to get hold of but never rated. Golden yellow in appearance with a thin head, much like all the lagers of this type in fact, but I enjoyed it. Must be the 2 days of summer we are having in Wales.

Draught. High creamy white head. Yellow clear body. Weak barley malt aroma and flavor with little hops and low carbonation. What a bore.

Served on tap in the bar on the Poland ferries. Was ok refreshing and very standard for a german pilsner. Hobs were there, but not too interesting, same with the malts. Nothing really special going on.

Pours pale yellow with a white head. Aroma and taste are malty and hops. Nothing special, an average pilsen

Canned(500ml). -5.0%ABV
Pale golden coloured, almost no head, grainy nose. The aroma is malty, grainy and slight hoppy with some weak fruity notes. Bitter Finish.

Holsten Pils, 5%, brewed in the EU for Carlsberg UK. Guess this is it.
Brought from England by a friend (thanks Saša!), shared with ozujsko
Golden-yellow colour, small white head that went away fast. Grainy nose, ok ’nuff. The taste is, again, just ok, nothing special. Grainy, a bit lemony and a touch of alcohol. All in all, too dull and basic.

Tap. Clear golden color and a thin white head. Flavor is good like any other good pilsener beer, the finish let a little bit bitter. The first one drinked at Hamburg - Germany. :)

in Can 500 ml., Has clear a yellow color, that remembers the straw. A small but lasting head. In the prime aroma hop, and has something of bittersweet syrup. The body is thin, something watery and has some sparkles of candy. The finish is bitter, but smooth. It is not a bad beer, remembers a pilsner, but is not a good pilsner.
