Appearance: golden yellow under a huge never-ending snow white head of super fine bubbles.
from their website: [Es]...zeichnet sich durch seinen feinem stabilen Schaum aus,... or "is distinguished by its fine stable head." Yep, 5 minutes on and it's still going strong.
Aroma: Not as strong as Reh-Pils in the Pils malt area, but still quite malty, more toast in the aroma.
Flavor:
In the front, a hefty amount of Noble hops bitterness, but not overwhelming. Not super bitter but I'd put the IBUs up in high 30s to almost a 40, but that's just in the front of the tongue, mind you. I get a mild tartness, too, but hidden inside the bitterness, which isn't like American bitterness; rather, it's a milder, softer form.
In the middle, more bitterness, some slight tartness again, but also an ever so slight hint of citrus. On the sides I get big bready, toast flavors mixed in with the bitterness.
Now in the back I get the Pils malt flavors, but as bready, more sweet and it's not as pleasant as Reh-pils. There's a little more bitterness and some tartness, too.
Aftertaste is almost verging on a slight tart/sour mixed with bitterness and tartness.
Mouthfeel: your usual German Pils thickness but even with the strong bitter flavors and slight tartness, it's not dry.
Overall: Less süffig but still pleasant. It's getting more and more tart, the more I drink this beer, but then I swish it around my mouth and have to say that bitterness is nice and pleasant. I like the bitterness, but they somehow dialed back the Pils malt flavors. A 3.6 from 5.
