Yeah yeah yeah. I’m rating a beer.
From a 750. Beer is light-to-medium orange-amber colored. Head is initially very large, light beige/white, frothy/creamy. Mostly lasts as a thick, creamy skim. Bare tree branches of lacing cling low in the snifter. Lazy pin-prick bubbles trail a bee-line to the surface.
Aroma is straightforward; pleasing. Malty with moderate notes of toasted bread, lighter undertones of toasted cereal, caramel cookie; Hop aroma is moderate/heavy pine resin, trace of strawberry; Yeast is present as just the faintest trace of sweat; Miscellaneous trace of white pepper.
The flavor is moderately bitter in a lean/dry way, just a trace of sweetness to an otherwise lightly bitter/dry and long finish. Hint of astringency accompany piny retronasal aromas. Aftertaste left is sticky and resinous.
The body is medium, the texture is watery/creamy and the carbonation is moderate.
Bit piny to be a session beer for me and wouldn’t fill the bill if I were craving a straight up pils, but all-in-all it’s a fairly engaging variation.

Dec 19, 2009 75cl bottle. Hazy orange to golden and slightly hazy beer. White head is huge, rocky and white in colour. Enormous amount of fruity and floral hops on the nose is something to experience: peach, lemon, sweet orange, honey and fresh pine needles. Toffy and caramelly maltiness give balancing sweetness. Clean and crisp pilsner-malty finsh. The alcohol is totally absent. Some pea soup-like off flavor appears when it gets too warm. The taste is dry and very bitter, but the amount of malts used cuts the sharpest edge. Palate is medium bodied and surprisingly smooth. Long and bitter finish. Top-class drinkability. Delicious, dangerous...

Dec 3, 2009 It poured a hazy golden liquid with a big foam that left lots of lacing. Smell and taste was very fruity with hops, passion fruit, peaches. Medium body and medium bitterness. Very nice! Best lager ever!
