Bottle... Poured pale, vibrant golden with a white head. Aroma is crisp with pleasant hops and earthy bread notes. Flavor is grassy with lemon-citrus and fresh hops. Some smooth malt to balance. Finished smooth with sweet malt.

0,5 l can. Golden color. One of the better beers of this type. The taste is an almost perfect mixture of floral, herbal and kinda spicy hops aromas. Malty and yeasty aftertaste. Very drinkable and refreshing, even in the can.

Amber, light-gold, traces of bubbles rising; has a clear, crisp aroma to it, you get the hops there from the beginning but not an over powering scent; certainly a full hoppy taste, medium bitter from the start to the end, pleasant without taking over the mouth; bitter after taste followed by some sweetness. Better on tap, acceptable in the bottle

Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière se présente avec une couleur modeste qui reste. Au nez on découvre des arômes semblable à une pilsner Allemande mais en moins franc, c’est-à-dire du grain frais et du houblon floral. En bouche le corps est mince-moyen et les saveurs sont le grain ainsi qu’une touche fruité et du houblon peu amère. La bière me rappelle la Swiss Mountain en meilleur. La finale est sucrée. Très Facile à boire.

Bottle. Yellow-gold with a substantial white head. Aroma is bready sweet, hops are quite noticeable, background note of DMS. Taste is bready pilsner malt sweet, some apple juice hints, spicy hops. Finish is lightly sweet with a cleansing dry bitterness. This must be the prototype for the style, it’s very well done and makes you feel you are imbibing in a beer garden. Prost!

Bottle pours a clear golden body with a small vanilla head that scatters some silky lace. Restrained aroma of spicy and floral Saaz hops and toasted barley. Light medium in body with a crisp and refreshing carbonation. Taste is dominated by a spicy hops bitterness that is very well balanced by the understated malt sweetness. Some golden apple fruitiness tries to emerge underneath. Very well balanced. A true classic and one of the world’s most sessionable lagers.
