.5L, Germany, best by 4/11.

I'm adding this beer because I believe it is different from the Ur Pils. Slightly less alcohol, and a filtered appearance.

Clear, effervescent gold with a decent head and very good lacing.

Dank, aromatic noble hops. Nice.

Flavor is well-balanced, with a better malt flavor than most Pils: lightly biscuity and bready. Hops add a vegetal earthiness and spicy quality, along with only a moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth and light, with medium-low carbonation. Clean finish with a lingering light maltiness. Drinks like a dream.

A very good Pils, much better than that of the bigger German breweries.

4.3/5  rDev +4.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 5

Appearance: Light straw color. White head of a fairly decent size but doesn't last too long.

Smell: Mmmm... hops! Nice grassy smell. Very discrete floral undertones play hide-and-seek with my nose.

Taste: Medium hoppy bitterness without becoming too aggressive, balanced by malts (the "biscuity" label given by the previous reviewer is right to the point.- I know I shouldn't do that...)

Mouthfeel: Light to medium body, but without feeling "watery". Refreshing to the max. Carbonation just enough to make it interesting.

Drinkability: Gimme more! These beers should only come in six-packs. I am writing to complain...
