Nov 6, 2009 Slightly skunked grassy aroma. Clear yellow, thick, snow white head, nice carbonation, good lacing. Malty corn flavor with lemon and honey at midpalate, dry grass finish. Refreshing and went well with schnitzel.

Oct 28, 2009 Piss yellow with a big fluffy white head. Grassy aroma, tastes of corn and rice with a bitter edge. Nothing to write home about.

Oct 20, 2009 Serving: Draft.
Appearance: Pale yellow color with a foamy, white head. Okay head retention and spotty lacing left behind.
Aroma: A bit of sweet grain and noble hops. Simple but okay.
Flavor: Palt malt sweetness on the tongue with a mild bitterness and a touch of honey. Subtle and nice.
Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a light mouthfeel and a medium, slightly bitter finish.
Overall: A decent pilsner that seems to keep things in balance. That being said, it lacks complexity and crispness.

Oct 3, 2009 500 ml bottle. From Salzburg, Austria. Clear golden colour with small white head.
Weak malty and hoppy aroma with metallic notes. Some malts and hops in flavour but only metallic notes. Crisp and well carbonated. But unfortunately nothing to justify the name Hopfenkönig.

Sep 28, 2009 Yellow body with lasting white head. Slightly sweet aroma with graasy notes. Taste is alright, bready and grassy, though it doesn’t stand out from other pilseners, probably need to try it real fresh but not sure it would make a lot of difference.

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle. weak malt and hops aroma. Golden yellow colour with white head. Mild bittersweet flavour. Soft mouthfeel.
PartyBear (29), Lincolnshire, England
Sep 5, 2009 Served from a chilled 330ml bottle into a half pint pilsener glass. Bottle comes with a modern ring pull cap.
Appearance: Golden and clear, with a fast fading head. Worryingly little carbonation.
Aroma: Grassy hops, along with a slight metallic smell. Grainy wheat notes.
Taste: Crisp and dry flavours. The hops are bitter and slightly grassy. The malts are very subtle and bready. There are certain flowery flavours as well.
Mouthfeel: Light and crisp, however it is a bit too flat.
Drinkability: Very drinkable pilsener, perfect served ice cold. Not impressed with the carbonation though, there should be more. The lack of carbonation might have been down to a bad bottle though, so I will be trying this again in the future, and re-reviewing.
