Malty and bready aroma with some light fruity (citrus) notes. Balanced hoppy taste with a dry and bitter final. Quite decent german pilsner. GregClow (2499), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Lager color, very small white head. Slightly skunked hoppy aroma. Malty, hoppy, with sweet tones. Medium-bodied, good pilsener with bitter finish. (5/2/7/3/10 2.7)
Re-rate, bottled (BB 06/2006)
Golden color, quickly vanishing white head. Mild plastic hop aroma. Fruity, sweet malts and weak bitterness in aftertaste. Quite boring pilsener, a bit like Budvar. (3/2/4/2/8 1.9) JoeMcPhee (5010), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 22, 2004 Pours a nice pale golden colour with some lingering white head. Floral aroma of Saaz hops with a trace of maltiness. Slightly sweet tasting on the front, but not unpleasantly so. Floral taste with a crisp finish and a fairly long lasting bitterness. A lot better than I expected out of a cheap can. Kåstå (1149), Mol, Belgium
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 10, 2004 Blond beer with a small head. Light hop aroma. Fairly sweet-neutral taste. Nothing special. Crockett (904), Steelback County, Ontario, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 1, 2004 Somewhat pale gold. Big foamy head. 500ml can. Hoppy floral nose, leafy and apple or pear. Decent hop bitters. Malts are noticeable but I detect some corn syrup. I'll let it go this time. Ricey, corny American Stanard adjuct-ish with apple juicey and late dry hop dry finish. A decent pilsener. And not bad from a company as "Iffy" as Holsten. caledonian (367), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 18, 2004 Canned. Pale straw colored with a white frothy head. Seems fairly yeasty. Not bad, not good. Roblikebeer (1), Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Mar 2, 2004 Draft - There is nothing better in my view, but I am partial to German pilsners. My favorite during my last trip to Germany. Cannot get here in SW PA, but if your ever in S FLA, Old Heidelberg has it on draft in Ft. Lauderdale
