Bottle from Capone’s. Gold pour with 2-finger whitihs head. Aroma is hopcitric, some pale malt, mild metallic notes. Tastes crisp, with hopcitrus, some pale malt notes, and some thiols. Not very good, IMHO, and certainly overrated by a lot.

Golden-yellow in colour, fizzy white coloured head, quickly dissipating, no lacing. The aroma is grainy, some pale malts, herbal and grassy hops. The flavour is crisp, lots of grains, cereal and bread, herbal and lightly floral, moderate sweetness. Bitter mouthfeel, medium/light body, high carbonation. Finishes lingering, moderately bitter and dry. This is actually not that bad, one of the better imports at the LCBO.

500ml can from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario for $2.25.
Purchased on June 19, 2007 and opened on July 1, 2007.
Best before February 27, 2008.

Can from the Shell gas station near Frankfurt-Hahn airport, Germany. Clear golden with white head. Weak malts, some herbal hops. A bit watery, good bitterness. A mediocre German pilsener. Rating 5/3/6/2/9. Draught (8th June 2008) at the pub K65 in Berlin. Oviously much better draught, I gave it 7/3/8/3/14. Perhaps also due to having it at a pub in Berlin on a hot day.

500 ml bottle poured a clear straw color with a small lingering white head. Aromas of straw, bread, light citrus and a bit of earthiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, graininess and light citrus with a crisp dry moderatly bitter finish.
