Good beer, seems very much like a dortmunder style, not too sweet, not too bitter on the hops. Good beer overall, better than many standard German Pils.

Pours a light golden color with a white head. Aroma is light of wheat, grassiness, and some slight floral hops. Flavor is a little stronger then I expected with wheat, grass, and floral hops. Better then the typical pale lager but still nothing special.

A decent enough lager. Not my go-to beer on a night out, but if there’s not much choice on tap i don’t really mind drinking this. The French have been much more successful with other alcoholic drinks.

Grassy nose with noticeable skunk and spicy hops. Light orangey-gold, small head. Huge carbonation, light body, slightly skunky finish that is not necessarily bad. Easy drinking fizzy beer, not special, but not offensive.

Poured from tap a clear yellow color, small white head which left a decent lacing and a medium carbonation. Aroma has a very light sweet malt hint and some grassy hops. Beer has an okay flavor from the pale malt, not strong but not weak either and hops add a somewhat spicy and grassy flavor to it. Overall the beer was ok but not worth the full import prices normally charged.
