Meteor pils is a superior quality beer and the result of a unique know-how. Made in 1927 by Louis Haag and his son Frédéric, its authentic, exclusive recipe is a skilfull combination of nole ingredients, particularly hops from the Czech Republic (Saaz) and Alsace (Strisselspalt). Its pale yellow colour is crowded by an abundant, airy head that holds out the promis of great finesse. Particularly light and sparking, it gradually asserts its smooth bitterness before opening up it rich, floral aromas and offering an intense freshness.
It received the golden medal of the competition "Mondial de la Bière Europe de Mulhouse" in September 2014.

From the tank at Brasserie Le Meteor in Strasbourg. I’ll always order a Czech Pils from the tank, anywhere. And this does not disappoint. Much better than it’s average score here, likely bc this is most often experienced from the bottle. This beer, though, is bright and floral and fresh. Great fruity hop flavor with a balanced malt and yeast profile to make this an impressive version of the style. Delicious!

11.2oz bottle into a Pils glass.
L: Pours 99% clear light gold w a 1/2" bright white head w OK retention to good edge foam, lrg & sml carbo bubbles, moderate skeletal lacing.
S: Hoppy, a bit floral, lightly grassy, pastry dough, peppery hops, white bread. Lovely aroma.
T: Floral hop bite, pale caramel malts, bready notes, lightly sweet & gently rich, grains, gently pale, well balanced. Moderate bitters linger in the finish.
F: Crisp, med-light body w a med-long lightly drying finish. Nice and clean.
O: Very EZ drinking and quite refreshing. A lovely European Pilsner that hits every target in its style bang on. It is very good to excellent and I would buy this again.

Had a bottle at a Winstub in Colmar.
Strange metallic taste, not really that good.

June 2016: 330 ml green bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5%. Golden colour, low white head. Typical Heineken-like aroma of lightstruck hops, notes of newmown grass (and some grass not so newmown). Sharpish and not very pleasant hops in the flavour, metallic finish. Won’t buy again.

From the bottle in a snifter. This pils pours a pale amber with a very nice
head of white foam that settles to a thick ring, thin dusty layer, and shows some
excellent lacing. Nose of grassy hops, herbal notes, and light cereal grains with
honey malts. Flavors expand on the note with spicy hop notes, light breaded malts,
honey malts, grassy hops, and floral notes. Nice mouth feel; medium light body,
medium high carbonation, smooth, crisp finish, and a lightly hop laced aftertaste.
Overall-----gimme my lawn mower and away we go!

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe:
Very light golden & very clear with a thin white surface lacing that holds surprisingly well without breaking up any. Pale malts & skunky notes kick things off with hay & basic adjuncts that aren't the best. The taste is a poor one with an initial lager malt bitterness, cheap adjuncts & hay with some earthy hops bit it's quite a harsh beer with a light body & plenty of carbonation but it's clean at least.

Clear golden body with a thin white ring and lacing. Smells grainy with grassy hops, honey, and malty, but all lightly so. The taste is also pretty light, with pilsner malt, honey, grains, grassy and herbal hops, flowers, and biscuit. All very clean and crisp in the feel. Don't understand the hate, a fine pilsner though on the lighter side. Goes great with french cuisine
