Sampled in Kitzbuhl. A pretty nice beer but overall pretty average for a pilsner. Has a good amount of head but mild flavor.

Bottle, bought @ Vinoble, Varde.
Pours clear golden with a fine, staying, frothy white head. Sweet corn aroma, light grass and a little citric. Light carbonation, a bit thin mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly hoppy, grassy and flowery on top of an okay, bready malts base. Okay.

Botella. Clear thin golden colour. Short white bubbly head. Aroma of grass, grains and some sweetness. Ok mouthfeel. The flavour has a mild sweetness with grassy hops, some grains and a pleasant mild bitterness. Dry grassy hoppy finish.

Freshness is the key! This is a beer that MUST be kept from daylight at all costs. Equally good on draught and in bottles. You are presented with a bright golden color, like you see in well lit beer commercials. The head is persistent and leaves a nice lace on the glass. Not as one dimensionally bitter as many German style Pilsners I have had, it packs more floral aromas, spicy notes and is more complexly layered than its easy to chug nature implies. Be warned that in the US, if you are drinking this beer outside of Washinton DC or VA, you can not be assured of its freshness. It is only officially distributed in the immediate area.

Bottle. Medium high and lasting white creamy head. Clear yellow body. Strong and good barley malt aroma with grassy notes. Barley malt flavor with little hops bitterness. Somewhat anonymous. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste.

Can 33cl. @ [ Fastelavns Tasting Ulfborg ].
Clear medium yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20090221]

Quite decent pilsener with aromas of sweet cookies and ginger. Tongue-tongling hop bitterness but nothing excessive, various notes of malt and fruits, somewhat pretty salty aftertaste, which makes it a tricky beer since your thirst’s always coming back. The mouthfeel seems a little oily to me. I’ll buy some more since european pilsners are hard to find in Québec’s imaginary country.
