Nov 2, 2008 Bottle (c&c) from Marcus. Many thanks. Sort of a copper color with a frothy, bubbly off-white head. Lots of hop - floral, grassy, spicy. Medium body with creamy/frothy carbonation. Flavor is strong. Strong hop and strong malt. Not at all bitter; well that overstates the matter, but it sure isn’t a NW hop giant; a more gentlemanly bitter. . Not hot. Indeed it seems to have a lot of nobility. Perhaps not quite clean, but it is crisp. A most excellent lager. How can it be other than the best ESL? At least for now.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle courtesy of kleyland. Poured a murky, dull orange with a huge frothy white head. Aroma of sweet malt, earth, sweet malt, vanilla and flowers. Comparing this to Panzer Pils, this one is at least as good. Not quite as sweet or hot, and a bit more well balanced. Pretty full bodied, with a lingering after taste. Malty flavor, bread, yeast, fruit and earth. Hop finish is mild, but solid.

austone (997), Turku; Pori, Finland
Oct 20, 2008 Draft at EBF. Murky orange, firm pale head. Sweetish, bubblegummy aroma, passion fruity hops. Nicely hoppy, mango and citric fruity flavor, bubblegum, very smooth maltiness. Medium to full bodied, round soft carbonation. A good beer, nothing to do with a pilsner though.
