Had it at a restaurant looked funky didn’t recognize the name.
Pours a straw yellow colour with small head that leaves no lacing.
Smells of lightly bready malt and literally nothing else.
Tastes of malt and not a whole lot else. Tastes like the copy paste lager.
Mouthfeel is light with medium-high carbonation.
Overall, this doesn’t have that Pilsner pop that you’d hope for but it’s also a lot better than the American industrial lagers so I’m not going to bash it at all. Not sure what I expected when I got it since the beer selection was very industrial/uninspired. Should have went with wine I suppose.

I had this beer while on vacation in Rome. Poured from a 16.9 oz. can. Has as golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, some malts. Taste is of malts, some green apples creeping in at the finish. Feels medium/light bodied in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer.

On tap. White head with lace, clear golden color.
Classic euro pils. Crisp, clean, refreshing. Earthy, grassy hops. Biscuity malts.
Light bodied. Easy drinking. Nice on a hot summer day.

From the can, it pours a very nice amber color with a nice white head. In the nose, it is grain more than anything. In the mouth, it is a pleasant bit of malt and some bitterness. Acceptable. Great after a hot day in DC!!

On my yearly trips to the Balkans (my wife is Macedonian) there is no dearth of Euro Pale Macro Lagers. This might become my go to.
Pours a crystal clear straw color, visible carbonation and moderate moussy head that displays decent retention.
Not much of a nose. Mostly clean, faint malt and a wisp of lemon towards the end.
Moderate malt sweetness, bready and well balanced by a light touch of hops bitterness. A nice touch of lemon and grassy hops spice in the finish.
Light, crisp and smooth at the same time. Good moderately gentle carbonation, not too fizzy.
Well balanced and easy to drink in the summer. Not as bad as the scores here IMO.

Review: 33cl green bottle of Tuborg Pilsener (German version): ABV: ; 4.9% vol
The Germany-brewed Tuborg “Premium Quality” Pilsener. Coming in a nice looking green bottle with a rather distinctive logo. The crown representing the fact that the beer was “official court supplier of the Danish court” since 1914, as they state on their website.
For the appearance, initially looks pretty good, all sparkling with a nice head of foam and a lovely golden colour, but boy does it go all flat very quickly with the head not lasting too long.
Has a faint lagery smell, a bit malty and sweet, nothing amazing on the nose.
On taste, I got nice big mouthfuls at the start that were a bit hoppy and I could really feel the grains, not a bad initial taste.
The beer has a nice kick to it. Fruity, sweet, bitter, grainy, malty.
Taste a bit of corn as well. Not a bad tasting beer, slightly a bit too overboard with the hops perhaps, as it is a lager after all?
Not a bad tasting beer. Yeah not bad. Lagery taste with a slight kick. Bit of an aftertaste as well.
I feel the beer stops short of developing into something special, and for this reason I would like to try it again to give a better opinion. I have had it on draught and have come to the same opinion. I really am not sure if I like this beer or not, it always stumps me!

Pours a light golden color with a bubbly, fluffy white head.
Smells of caramel, straw and dried leafes - subdued on the nose.
Has a light, softer mouthfeel with a metallic carbonation. Well balanced, but borderline thin.
Tastes of straw, aqua and a prominent mineralic spitziness, coated up by toffee malts. Finishes still very light and with just the faintest hop presence for a short glance.
Boring. This is well made as for its balance, apart from that there is just nothing standing out, exept its high, metallic carbonation.

.5L can poured into Pilsner glass
A- Dark straw, hyper-filtered clear. White head dies almost instantly.
S- Grassy, grainy, light toast. A little fruity. Very faint, spicy, noble hop character.
T- Grainy, grassy, with a mild malt sweetness.
M- Light body. Finish is very clean with no off-putting tastes or feels. About the best part of the beer.
O- Just the classic piss water, which is most mass-produced lagers.
