Appearance: This beer pours a crystal clear shinny light gold color with faint pure white bubbles. The beer appears quite effervescent like champagne as bubbles continue to cascade to the top of the glass after a strong pour.

Smell: This beer has a definitely sweet malt aroma. It is reminiscent of light honey or honeydew melon. There is a slight noble spice aroma of faint orange peel or cut grass. All aromas come across subtly but provide a clean refreshing smell to the beer.

Taste: The flavor has a slight malt bready backbone followed by a faint spice and lingering grassy bitterness. Much like the aroma the beer is easy on the palette with subtle flavors that dissipate quickly.

Mouthfeel: This beer is extremely light in body and almost dances on your tongue due to the effervescence. It is dry, crisp and extremely refreshing.

Drinkability: I could easily pound back a few of these while sitting out in the hot sun or eating a nice lunch at a brewpub. The flavors are more overpowering and leave your pallette feeling clean and not overwhelmed. It's a perfect session beer.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: If you are looking for an extremely light Pils, pick up a six pack. It would be the perfect beer for playing a round of golf, or to pair with light salads, pretzels, or or other salty bar snacks. It's extremely thirst quenching and a definite quaffer in my book.

Pours out a clear golden colored body with a nice thick topping of white head that recedes to a thin cap that leaves some lacing.

The nose is met with a pleasant sweet bready and grainy malt with some earthy and herbal noble hop.

There is a nice mild hop bitterness. The hops deliver on the herbal side. Lots of bready malt character.

Easy drinking and light bodied. Carbonation is on point. A little dry.

Nice lil' German pils that's easy to get on this side of the pond. Would drink again. Wish I could get a maß of this.

500 ml bottle, poured into a weizen glass.

Large head but doesn't last too long and leaves a little lace. Clear, golden color. A lot of tiny bubbles rising constantly.
Smell and taste are pretty standard for a pilsner.
Body feels light to medium, smooth and well carbonated.

The best thing about this beer is the drinkability. It has a nice mouthfeel and is very refreshing. After you have a sip, it makes you want more.
