A sweet and wide malty bavarian taste. Quite smooth. Looks clear and golden. Not bad at all.

Bottle @ Dos in Davis. Had this brew next to another lager, and paled in comparison. The experience was smooth going in, but most was aftertaste that lingered. I wasn’t impressed.

Poured a golden color and had a very grainy smell. Flavor is back loaded with a slighty bitter kick for the aftertaste. Not bad, but an average beer.

Drank this out of the bottle so color and pour not in the picture. It had a weird herby grain off flavor in the start. Let it sit a few mins and it turned into a fairly drinkable European lager. Not great but better than the typical American macro swill to be sure.

(on 33ml. bottle, never seen such a small bottle from this brewhouse) So, best sold lager in the world, well, about time I taste it, then. Pale yellow, nice, lasting white head. A small hoppy nose, in fact the hops are the dominat aroma and flavour throughout the drink, even though I suspected more breadyness. Fresh carbonation, goes well with the rather dry and herbish finish. I liked it.

On tap at the Castle. Served in a really nice Paulaner mug. This is definitely quite an enjoyable brew, from one of my favourite styles. It’s a bit mellow, but still with enough sweet biscuity malts to satisfy my palate. The mouth-feel is very decent, smooth, crisp, refreshing. The only thing it really loses points for with me is the fact that it has just a touch too much hops than what I like to have in my Dortmunders and Helles lagers. But over-all, when served fresh this is a great example of a simpler, but delicious style of beer!

Bottle. Tanx to Tjalve. Light clear golden and a white head. An ok pils with some fresh hops and citrus. Also some metalic feel in aroma and taste.

Pours a light clearish yellow color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of grains and straw. Nice and clean and crisp. Along with the nice crisp clean malty flavors I get a little banana as well. Thin palate, but it coats the mouth a bit as well. Carbonation is less prominent than I expected from a lighter colored beer. This is a nice, light German brew, lager, whatever.
