Essentially indistinguishable from the other common Berlin pilsner I saw everyone on the street drinking: Berliner Kindl. Drank them side by side and probably wouldn't be able to pick one as being better or worse. This one might be slightly slightly hoppier.

I tried a 0.33L bottle of this beer at an Italian restaurant near the Brandenburg gate in Berlin, Germany. It poured a clear golden with initial fizzy white head that eventually dissipated and did not leave any lace. The scent had grain and malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced an easy to drink with grain presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Looks as good as any other pilsner. On the nose, mostly musty earthy hops, not much else. Tiny bit of lemon pepper, very faint biscuit malt. The taste begins with the briefest hint of biscuit malt, washed away quickly by dusty earth hops, with very weak bitterness, and maybe a touch of lemon pepper. The flavour is brief shallow, and weak. None of the big hop bitterness or pillowy biscuit malt I expect from a pilsner. The mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery. Overall this is a very mediocre pilsner. I guess I should.mention this can is about three months out of date. Maybe that affected the quality. I don't know if I want to spend three bucks to get a fresh one and find out though.

Pours a clear yellow with fine head.
Smell is crisp and crackery with some mineral and floral hints. Notes of citrus and yeast.
Taste is creackery and a bit herbal. A bit grainy with mineral and floral hints and notes of citrus. Very easy to drink, quite clean and crisp.
Mouthfeel is medium a bit creamy and well carbonated.
Overall, a very easy drinking pilsner, well made. Nothing outstanding, but solid.

From the bottle, it pours a clear light yellow color with a nice robust white head. The scent is grainy with a touch of hops. The taste follows. Drink it cold and it will be refreshing!

Pours crystal clear with a thick fluffy head. The smell/taste is biscuity, grainy and a bit hoppy. Stereotypical of Euro lagers. Better than some, not as good as others.

bought 500ml can at LCBO at the bottom of the can they have a brew date and an expiry date.
usually the European beers are good for 1 year maybe I don't believe that maybe 6 to 8 months.
anyways beer poured into glass with 2 finger head taste is good good carbonation and also a good price at the lcbo
overall it's a good beer and probably would buy again.
cheers

Flat looking with no head.
Average pilsner taste, nothing above average.
Malty smell, no lace in the 3 mm head. Looks flat and with no body.
I would not buy it again. I can see the appeal on a very hot day; but that would be for most pilsner.

It's a fine sweet, grainy pilsner with plenty of lemon zest and white meringue head over a golden fine bubbled body.
Everyone should try such classics, but slightly preferred Radeberger for its brighter notes.

Bright blond, beautiful creamy foam, white in color.
Malty smell, lightly honeyed, some grassy hop. Decent smell.
Same notes in the mouth, where the grass-hay effect is stronger.
Quite dry.
Not a masterpiece, but a decent and honest pils.
