Bottled version. Typical pilsnerlooks. Pretty weak in every standard, lacks hopbitterness, othing offensive though, just utterly boring.

On tap: Straw golden, medium sized fluffy head; some hoppiness in the aroma, mainly fruity traces of citrus or lemon; distinctive lemony-bitter taste; short slightly bitter finish; nothing great, but quaffable and refreshing

Bottled, from the Scout Club Irish Pub in Samobor. Poured a medium, thick head, that dissipated slowly, some carbonation. Faint malty smell. I detected some breadiness in the flavor, but that disappeared fast, or got overwhelmed by lemon. Some malt showed itself too. Faint bitter aftertaste. Am I repeating myself ? I sure am. 10 pale/premium lagers in 2 days.... why am I doing this to myself ?

Can (500ml) Pours pale gold, very fast-disappearing white head, leaves a gruel of lace and a hint of head behind. Looks very flat. Aroma of sweet corn extract, a bit of heather and perfume, not much else. Taste is weak - no mouthfeel at all, might as well be water - some hop in the linger, a touch dry-bitter, maybe a bit of grain and barley. Waste of time. Premium? As if ...

Tasted from the bottle and poured into it’s own stem glass, a decent half inch head formed atop a clear pale gold body. Very clean, freshly mowed grass and herbs aroma, almost pungent and quite dry. Gritty cereal grains, chaff, and a little cardboard attempted a balance with the harsh bittering hops, and grassy flavours of this very bitter lager. Quite refreshing cold but became a little undone half way through and as it warmed. finish is crisp and the swallow is quite dry. Very light bodied and the high carbonation did nothing to help lower the hop tones. Still not that bad a lager that had no off flavours or odd mouth feel about it. Make a quick summer refresher.

Mini keg. Not really sure what is so premium about this beer. Typical cheap Euro pale lager. Has it’s required skunkiness and grainy qualities. Not a great beer. I suppose it is rather cheap, so it has that going for it.

(Bottle 33 cl) Version for the Danish market at 4,6% ABV. Pale with a pleasant, hoppy nose. Refreshing, but nothing special. 140599
