Had on tap at the brewery 17/08/11.

Pours a pale straw colour with clear bod mostly, slow but steady bead feeding pleasantly dense head of snowy lace. Quite good.

Smells quite tangy with lemongrass being dominant. Hint of seawater and some sweeter pear notes. Notable cereal grain at the back with a touch of cassia as well; really quite intriguing, albeit not a very classic pils aroma.

Taste is disappointingly empty. Light citric note on the front that disappears, leaving empty watery mid-palate that develops slight pearl barley notes before mild hops come through for finish; slight grass, pine and a woody bitterness. Refreshing enough, but bland and empty.

Fuller body than one would expect given the empty flavour, slight tingle on the back. Could have used more zip.

Bland and empty is the lasting impression, although the flavours that are there are OK.

Not sure if this one is different from the Cloudy Pils, but here goes. Tasted at a tapas bar in Aachen, Germany, on tap.
A: Light, clear straw-yellow colored with a thin white head that settles quickly.
S: Straightforward malt aroma.
T: Odd, off-putting flavor of metal and mold. Not sure if this batch traveled well.
M: Thin bodied.
D: This one does not live up to the style, not complex, off-flavors.
