Straw color with a haze. Small head that leaves a couple of smaller streaks on the glass.

Quite sweet smell for the style. Some light malt nose. I couldn't tease out any hop aroma, though.

Fuller body than most pils, lower carbonation as well. Like the smell, this is sweeter than expected. The flavor fermented barley is strongest. Unlike the smell, there is a light hop presence. Short aftertaste.

Tasted by 100ml, No.1 in a tasting set of four at this “mock brew-pub” (i.e. beers are not brewed at this premise). Served by a tap behind the bar.

A: pale straw in colour, rather cloudy as it is unfiltered; the thin white head quickly retreats to a rim, while carbonation remains rather sparse.
S: due to the serving temp. (a bit too low, that is), only a subdued note of floral fragrance and sugar-cane-juice-like fruitiness manages to struggle through, backed by an equally mild flow of lemon-grass aroma.
T: lightly sour-ish yeastiness comes with feather-light maltiness; ensued by a nice lingering bitterness to mingle with the soothing aftertaste of grainy lager malts. Surprisingly, in the end there shows more bitterness of hops~~
M&D: softly carbonated, soothingly textured and quite refreshing, this is a relatively well-structured brew with potentials; although it doesn’t quite fit in with a true German Pils that it purports to be (according to the brewery's leaflet), the unfiltering makes it all the more drinkable.
