Bottle brown, 330 ml, 11.6 P
Appearance: Pours bright and yellowish, pale, little wattery, shiny, transparent, clear, carbonated strongly like a fizzy drink and creating a big, quickly decreasing head which becomes very minute, head colour is white, rather no lacing at all, body is still sparkling after the disappearance of the head, really very lively carbonation.
Aroma: Basically an alcoholic nose and aroma of hops, a kind of skunkyness, chalky, aroma is weak, a kinf of citrus.
Flavour: The flavour gives the impression of an appearance, wattery, too much water, pale, without the character of the front, than bitterness very strong, essential and positively received, after than when you swallow a hint of honey with milad, malty sweetness becomes present. Hops are also present, but stronger in the aroma than in flavour, in the flavour you can feel grains, refreshing, a kind of alcohol. Rather good German Pilsener. Grainy, malty, dry, bitter finish. Finish duration is average.
Palate: Body is light, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is soft, finish feel is chalky, light alcoholic, grainy, malty, bitter, a bit sour, citrusy.

Bottle pours very clear light-medium yellow. Tons of carbonation bubbles rising the length of the glass. Tall bright white head Mostly diminishing but with traces of lacing.. Malty aroma. Slight hop note mixed with grass. Tastes grainy with a little hop. Barely there bitterness in the finish, but it works well. Very light in the mouth.

On tap @ The Hopyard, pours pale gold with smooth off white head. Nose and flavor are subtle biscuit and smooth. The finish is a bit smokey.

Bottle. Sour barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head and slight efffervescence. Straw, barley malt and grassy hops flavor - hops slightly wins out overall. Nice dry/hoppy pils.

Pours a light, clear yellow colour with a slightly grainy taste and a well balanaced mouthfeel. thin frothy white head, aroms of pears straw, and seafood.

Served up on tap at the Palm Harbor, FL Lagerhaus in an actual Radeberger tulip glass. Pours up brilliant clear gold with wispy bright white head and spotty lacing. The aroma is colorful with a broad Munich graininess, apples drizzled with honey and floral hops followed by more malt graininess. The taste is both grainy and malty sweet with a wedge of floral and spice hop bitterness driving the maltiness apart. The bitterness grows some to midway and rides out into the finish. It ends neutral in body with some lingering hops, malt sweetness and hints of graininess.
