Little or no head formation. The color was clear, pale yellow and inviting. This was a Christmas gift. The taste was crisp and clean with hops and light malt. You don’t see this Pils much in the US. I think it needs more hops.

Bottled. Pale golden. Grassy hoppy nose, smallish notes of cooked vegetables. Hard hoppy, and herbal, flavour, yet soft malty. Balanced bitterness. Medium bodied.

Yellow, white medium bubbly head. Clean but a bit weak grassy and hoppy aroma. Hoppy grassy flavour with sourish notes. Quick finish with some metallic notes. Quite boring.

In the 0.33L bottle. Pours a pale yellow with a foamy white head. Nice lacing, but the head dies rather soon. Smells like a pilsner. Medium body and carbonation. Somewhat bitter aftertaste, but nothing remarkable.

I will start off by saying, hold your nose before you drink this bad boy. The aroma is similar to skunk spray. Terrible superficial qualities (again aroma and apperance). There definitely is a grassy flavor with a hint of mellow hops ingrained into the brew. The flavor is okay, nothing special. Overall I cannot recommend this beer.

Pours golden with a nice white head. Aroma is skunky and grassy. Taste is grassy, herbal with grain and saaz hops. Moderately sweet, bitter finish. Full bodied taste but the mouthfeel is a tad watery at the end. Good lacing and head retention. Decent.
