Picked up a e0,5l bottle dated 15.09.23 from the REWE down the street from Mahrs in Bamberg. My expectations for this beer were low once I saw the score here but it is much better than the score. A rich, full body with a solid grain bill picked up in the nose and flavor. Easy drinking, smooth, and certainly better than indicated. Would happily drink this again, unlike many other Pilsners rated higher.

Brauerei Fässla "Gold-Pils"
2,80€ / ,5L at the brewery on 16 September 2017

Notes: Clear golden body beneath a full head of white that slowly settles into a creamy finger-thick head, and then down into just a surface covering - but nice lacing is left behind. The aroma is of grainy malt with just a touch of herbal hoppiness. Thought it would be happier, but OK, and the flavor follows. This is von fass auf Bayerischer antisch so it's got a moderate, smooth carbonation. It's got some sweetish malt to it but there's also some stiff bitterness to balance it, and it finishes dry once the dollop of residual golden malt has passed. Some light herbal notes remain. Overall it's really well balanced and remarkably drinkable. It's also quite clean, and it has a great malt component to it. It's a perfect example of the southern German Pilsner style.

After the lager I tried this lovely pils at Fässla.

It is a clear golden color with a pillowy white head. Laces wonderfully.
Super light and clean. There isn't too much going on, but everything there just kills about any other pils I have had. There are light grains and hops running around yet not as hoppy as say a fresh Urquell. This is where fresh drinking and great brewing collide. Gotta try this while in the 'Berg!

50cl serving in seidel at Faessla, Bamberg

A - Golden body with excellent clarity. Average retention/lacing on the 2 finger creamy white head
S- Earthy hop with notes of lemon,pepper
T - Biscuity malt with lemon hint. Earthy hop comes through but malt still dominates in clean finish.
M - Medium body and carbonation.
D- Tasty stuff, typical franconian lager. Perhaps needs more hop presence to make it more of a pils.

500ml bottle

A- Pale golden, great clarity. Two fingers white head, pretty dense for the style. Nice retention, decent lacing

S- Quite weak, even for the style. A touch if grassy bitterness and some floral notes

T- Grainy malts, with that typical pilsner crackery crispness. Slight, delicate fruitiness on the palate (lemon, apple). Grassy/floral, bittering finish, not that i could actually recognize any particular flavour, just a good dose of clean, refreshing bitterness

M- Light body, average carbonation brings a bit of life. Just nice, nothing remarkable

O- Highly drinkable, refreshing, perfectly balanced. Basically all you would expect from a bavarian pilsner. Maybe just a bit too anonymous

On tap, served into half litre handled Pils glass. Pale colour, large foamy head, clear. Noble hop smell, fairly fresh, reminded me of a north german pils. Tasted a nice balanced hoppy bitterness, nutty aftertaste. Moderate carbonation but was still easy to drink. Standard refreshing Pils, well made but more like something found in north germany than Bamberg

Served on-draught into a 25cl Fassla glass in Bamberg. Reviewed from notes. Expectations were pretty moderate; I tend to prefer Czech Pilsners to German Pilseners.

A: Pours a two finger head of no cream, decent thickness, and below average retention. Colour is a clear yellow.

Sm: Slight cream and plain clean barley. A very light strength aroma.

T: Clean barley as a foundation. A hoppy climax. Some underlying cream. Very simple but also quite refreshing. Balanced to an extent.

Mf: Smooth with nice coarseness on the climax. Wet. Refreshing.

Dr: Average ABV. It slides down easily enough, but it's far from special.
