Rerate, 330 ml bottle, from the Norwegian importer. ABV is 4.8%. Golden colour, large white head. Sweetish aroma, notes of grassy and herbal hops. Slightly sweet flavour, fairly malty for a German pils, also a decent hoppy bitterness.

One of the less impressive of the beers I've had in Germany. Not bad by any means, but not as good as many other options widely available.

Smell: Sweet granny malt. Herbal hops.

Taste: Same as smell with a taste of hops. Very sweet, very light.

Feel: Light to medium body, light carbonation, easy drinking, sweet and smooth, goes down super easily

So overall would I recommend it ? Yes

Would I buy it again ? As a pilsner, yes but as a day to day beer no

The beer has a sour taste, the type of hop that reminds me smell,and taste of lavender. In general, the taste is slightly saturated, I do not like this type of beer.

I got a 6 pack of 500ML cans of this stuff for cheap. I did not read the date on the bottom until I was intoxicated. I DRANK YEAR OLD BEER! I had the "runs" and stomach pressure. But the beer was oddly, refreshing, carbonated, and delightful. I will see if I can find a new current 6 pack of this stuff and give it another go. The one thing I did like was the packaging was like the Rosetta Stone, It had English French German Spanish Ukrainian Russian and Kyrgyzstan languages. I thought that was cool.

Straw colour, paler than a typical Czech golden pilsner, and also a bit hazy. Was not expecting the haziness and not sure what to make of it. Nice head that fades to thick lace rings. Biscuit malts on the nose, subtle hop undercurrent. The taste follows. Big biscuit malts, floral, spicy, and subtly earthy hops to balance it out on the dry side, as a pilsner should be. Quite smooth feel for a pilsner too. If this is a typical example of German pils as opposed to Czech pilsner, then I prefer the German stuff.

This isn't bad but I wouldn't buy it again. Mostly a flat malt taste. A bit hoppy but not overpowering. Not terrible, but nothing exciting.

I actually liked this more than I had expected. It's a personal preference, of course, but I prefer a Pils that is rich in noble hops and has nice toasty malt also. Many of the "craft" pilsners are too fruity when it comes to the hop notes. When describing the style I prefer I would say: more herbal/floral, green flavors, not so much fruity.

Poured from a freshness dated 11.2 oz. bottle: bright and clear, golden hue with a quickly receding, foamy white head. It is good to see the imports arriving with freshness dates and brown glass.

Mild spicy aromas of European noble hops - somewhat typical for the style.

What really surprised and disappointed me was the noticeably sweet flavor profile for a German pilsner. There is also a slight, medicinal flavor as well. It reminds me of a poorly brewed, American-micro attempt at a pilsner. Yet there is a nice hop profile that does come through and the sweetness does abate after the lager warms in the glass. I have been very fortunate with the numerous German imports I have been quaffing lately; this broke that chain of good luck. Still, I could have done a lot worse. I also purchased a four-pack of Krombacher Hell. That should be interesting.

Pours a crystal clear, pale golden coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity, slightly grainy malt and floral, grassy and herbal hops. Taste is a decent balance of biscuity, slightly grainy malt and floral, grassy and herbal hops, with just a hint of green apple and a certain mineral, almost metallic note coming through in the aftertaste. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness and some biscuity malt, grassy hops, green apple and a certain mineral note lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This makes for a not very enjoyable Fernsehpils that's a bit too sweet and not quite bitter enough for my personal taste, while also featuring some fairly mild, but still somewhat unpleasant tart green apple and mineral/metallic notes in the aftertaste, definitely getting a hint of acetaldehyde here. While there's a decent balance of sweet malt and bitter hops to this, it doesn't feel all that crisp and clean due to the unpleasant notes in the aftertaste.

Light gold in color. Soft, soapy extra white head. Nose is classic German hops, lemon zest, white pepper. Taste is bready, crackers, hoppy, malty. Everything you expect from a well constructed German pilsner. Mouthfeel is light, and finishes dry. With a good, crisp bite on the finish. At $5.99 a four pack of 500ml cans, this is a bargain. This beer would probably taste even better in the summer months.

Pours a straw gold colour accompanied with a lovely thick head with good retention. Toasty, malt, cereal aroma and flavour. Light bitterness and carbonation. Pretty straight forward. Like this review. Very good.
