L - pale golden, white head
S T - pale malts, very clean. Slightly dry. Noble hops reminding me of a Victorian garden. Grassy, clean, dew, and flowers, interestly enough. Really nice.
F - nothing of note
O - very nice. Quite flowery. One of the more enjoyable lagers I've had in a long, long, long while.
I would recommend this one. One of the better easily available lagers you can drink.

I wasn't expecting much, because of some other disappointing Brand beers I tried and because I generally do not care much for lagers/pilseners. But this was a pleasant surprise. The bitter aftertaste lingers on and makes it last, There isn't much more to it than the bitterness (36 EBU) but it is enough to make me enjoy it. It did not convert me to a lager lover but I guess this is a good one.

Had in 2015 in Amsterdam.
MJ's "Guide" gave it 2.5 of 4 stars calling it "beautifully balanced and elegant, with a long finish."

Clear straw yellow colour with a medium sized head that quickly dissolves. Very fresh smell of grass, malt, citric and flowers. This continues in the taste, albeit a bit weaker. Malt tends to dominate a bit too much here. Due to the hops, the finish has some hints of grapefruit. Aftertaste has a nice bitterness and some resin flavour that lingers very well. Not something i would immediately buy again, but still quite good for a lager. Makes me wonder why macro breweries don't simply choose to brew their euro lagers more like this.
