1000 ml can poured into a pint glass
A: Pours a straw pale yellow with a bright white head, good amount of carbonation, no retention or lacing.
A: Subtle aromas of lemon grass, grain, spice, honey, bready malts.
T: Grain, spice, light bitterness in the middle, finish has lemon and bready malts, crisp and refreshing taste.
M: Light bodied with a crisp, clean finish, very light on the palate, easy to drink.
O: Not that flavorful or aromatic but definitely very drinkable, would pair well with a hot summer southern CA day while working around the house or grilling.

L: brilliant gold under a 1/2" layer of white foam with moderate to poor retention
S: light bread crumb, traces of hop spice and a hint of sulfur
T: Lightly sweet bread crumb leads the flavors with mild hop spice, and a trace of apple. On the finish, mild bitterness and slight acid tartness fade into a gentle drying
F: The body is light and the carbonation is medium high
O: The beer is fairly well balanced and drinkable but the brewer should do more to protect the beer from becoming light struck.

A poor man's Heineken. Ok, a poor already-intoxicated man's Heineken. Sorry, I just don't know how such a taste is 'good'. But, to each his Danish own.

I bought a thousand milliliter can of this and it poured out a clear yellow color with a thick somewhat creamy head. It had a very strong sour grain smell with a little smell of malt and hops typical of a heavy lager. The taste was malty and metallic with a light taste of hops but was mostly overpowered by a wheaty/grainy taste. The aftertaste was very metallic and unpleasant.

I had this one on tap on multiple occasions while in Europe.
Pours an amazingly clear yellow straw color that displays a modest head that retains quite well.
The taste and aroma are aligned, mostly clean and with a slight malt sweetness. A tiny prickle of noble hops balances things out. Dry and lemony in the finish. Light and crisp, very easy to drink and refreshing on a summer day.
This was not all that bad and was arguably the best macro euro lager I had while abroad.
P.S. I can see how the bottle would cause slinky aromas, however, due to having it on draft, I didn't get any. I would recommend draft as the serving choice for this one.

Pours a very clear straw golden. Thick foamy head that seems to dissipate faster than it should. Doesn't keep that nice appealing look like most Euro lagers I know. Smells strongly of a mixture of hops that blend together so well to form a mild skunk smell that I can't disseminate what they actually are. Tastes of a slight citrusy nature, but more of a sweetened maltiness. The only taste I am getting after the swallow is a bready or ricey taste. Light carbonation. Overall, could use some work. Not the best Pilsner I have ever had the pleasure of trying. Just average.
