Rated: 10.09.2009
Bottle brown, 500 ml
Appearance: Pours bright and very pale golden, practically yellowish, moderate body saturation and almost perfectly clear texture, head is initially medium, foamy to frothy, greyish white in colour, quite bubbly, giving nice lacing.
Aroma: Very pure aroma of Classic German Pilsener, strong notes of graphite, chalk, lemon, lime, spices, white and green pepper, slightly herbal but still more spicy, thin grainy-malty background dominated by hoppy top, light gravity beer, notes of whipped cream.
Flavour: Very fine herbal-spicy hoppy top followed almost imediately by a sharp bitter hoppyness displayed at the back of the tongue together with notes of graphite, flour, very explicitly pronounced barley grains, lemon, lime, notes of rust, metalic, iron, highly bitter, highly mineral, finish duration is long with dominating notes of grapefruit seeds and green pepper. Really good Classic German Pilsener.
Palate: Body is light to medium, texture is definitely strongly dry, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is highly astringent and sharp hoppy with domination of dry notes of chalk, barley grains, pepper, graphite, very clean and classic for its style.

(bottle) pours a clear golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of bittering hops and light pale malts. flavour is surpirisingly fuity, with a hint of caramel in the finish, not really pilsner-esque. light body with fizzy carbonation.

500 ml bottle. From Germany. Clear pale golden colour with small white head. Hayish grainy malty aroma. Hayish graint malty flavour with harsh bitterness. Dry and nicely bitter hoppy taste. My German beer rating #100.

50cl bottle @ Munchen. Clear pale piss yellow with a small white head and lacings. Lots of hay and grain. Quite clean. Dry and bitter. Rough and harsh around the edges. Ok

Bottld (from beerangel.de). Yellowish golden colour, mediumsized, slightly off-white head. Aroma is grass and mild maltyness. Flavour is sweet malts, some metal as well as some quite grassy notes coming in the finish. Also some rather burnt rubbery notes.

Pilsen com leve gosto e aroma de malte e lúpulo, mas sem destacar-se das demais. Falta personalidade. Para refrescar.

Pale yellow color, decent white head, some lace. Aroma is grainy, metallic and slightly grassy hoppy with hints of sweetness. Starts quite bitter. Sweet, slightly buttery maltyness and good amount of hops. Long bitter aftertaste. Slightly fizzy. Although malt base is a bit lame, has decent hoppyness, which makes this quite good (propably) cheap session pils.
