2.8 Part of my 2013 backlog, and tried at the Strait and Narrow, Lincoln. Pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma has biscuity malt. The taste was sweet, with a slight bitter finish.

3.1 Golden, etwas Schaum. Aprikose, Frucht, Malz. Herb und fruchtig am Gaumen, leicht wässrig. ok!

3.6 [6397-20140628] Tap. Mild grainy yeast aroma. Clear, orange body with a long-lasting creamy white head. Bitter yeasty hops flavour has a light undercooked sourdough bread note. Medium body. Tasty. (7/3/8/3/15) 3.6 (@ BrewDog, Glasgow, Scotland)

1.9 I dislike lager and as this is no ’fake’ but true to the style, I dislike it - no flavour, not crisp just meh. Could be a mass-produced pale lager from anywhere. Can’t believe BD produces a shit beer like this. Shame on you.

2.6 The head is ok, the body orange. flowery, It smells bit hoppy. The taste is bit hoppy, mild, balanced-mild. Not my taste.

2.7 Bottle from Wine Emporium 181114. Not really a fan. A bit too pale lagerish for me. Clear in the glass with lots of wet straw aroma. Okay on a hot day.

2.8 Pale golden color, clear; white head - malty taste, cereals, maybe some citrus notes - taste is slightly sweet and medium bitter - light body, rather thin texture, average carbonation - long bitter finish.

2.8 From price/performance perspective this brew doesn’t seems any better than correctly brewed lager or stronger lager. Pale in color, malty dominant flavor, medium to light bitter without any off-flavors nore extras. Just.

0.5 Fake Lager, teve uma apresentação show, fizeram um filme detonando as lagers comuns que se dizem pilsner bohemian, essa tb deveria ter sido lançada do canhão. A começar pela cor, indo para a carbonatação e sabor, nada haver com o frescor de uma Pilsner Urquell.

3.8 I really don't ger the low ratings of this beer. For someone uses to brazillian shitty-corn-beers, this lager is amazing in it's style.

4.0 33cl bottle @ home from Csak a Jó Sör, Budapest. Body is clear, orange, Head is medium, white, creamy, mostly lasting, excellent lacing. Nose is malty, Aroma is fruity, caramel, malt, cereal, hops, corn. Taste is medium bitter, medium hoppy bitter. Finish is quality strong lagerish metallic bitter-sweet, long lasting hops and cereal. Medium body, thin texture, average carbonation. easy, refreshing, excellent pilsener.

2.4 On tap at Brewdog Glasgow. Pours clear golden with white head poured into Brewdog lager glass which I found terrible. Grainy and malty. Slightly hoppy. Watery. Not good, worst Brewdog so far, not sure what is the purpose of creating this beer.

2.4 Bottle at home. Pours clear golden, nose and taste are soft toffee, light, not too exciting.

3.2 Flaske, 33 cl. Let uklar orangegylden, smalt hvid skum-bræmme. Fake? Nej, men interessant floral-appelsin næse med metal-noter. Mere rund og blød end crisp. Og meget let karboneret. Men ok

2.0 really big disappointment. watery, thin, metallic, pale yellow slightly hazy. white small, lace leaving head.

3.5 Aroma: hay, citrus, bread; Appearance: pale yellow, small foamy head; Taste: medium bitterness, medium sweetness, slight sourness; Palate: soft carbonation, medium body, slick texture, bitter finish One of the best lagers I’ve drunk. Terrific balance. Just too expensive to drink every day.

2.9 I wonder if my nose is stuck or theres no aroma. Maybe bit too cold serving temperature. Anyways light herbal, grassy hops, light malty, grainy, bit fruity. Decent thirst quencher, nothing more

2.5 with yves at his home gold blond colored body with a white head and a spicy hop aroma a spicy hop bitter sweet taste with a bitter finish

2.5 Bottle - golden with a bubbly white head. Aroma is of straw, malt and a little lemon. Very weak. Taste of grass, lime, earth and light bitterness. Light body, medium carbonation and a little dry. It’s okay.

2.7 Aromats: Kur tur esi? :D loti vajs. Mazliet iesals. Krana udenim ir vairak aromata. Izskats: solidi, 4mm noturiga puta. Krasa: Dzeltens ar oranzu toni. Garsa: Aptieka!!!, maigi rugtens, herbi- bet ne teejas, drizak kaut kaads naatru un pelasku mix.

3.3 Tap at brewdog, shepherds bush. Gold with a white head. Light honey corn aroma. Light body, medium to full carbonation. Light honey, popcorn, lemon, grass, white bread... Refreshing. Nice enough.

3.0 Hazy orange, minimal white head. Grassy and malty aroma. Medium to heavy bitterness. Bitter finish. Thin to medium body, average carbonation. Worst Brewdog so far, yet not bad. (Pivoljub 0,33l bottle)

3.3 Bottle, Geers, 33cl. Pours yellow golden. Huge dense white head. Herbal green nose. Honey like bitter taste, strong lasting taste. Lots of styrian hops I guess. Similar to Duvel Green.

2.8 At my home with wim. Clear goldblond colored beer with small white head and no carbonation visible. Granny aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is sweet slightly bitter.

2.6 Draught at Frederiksberg Ølbar. Low fluffy white lasting head. Cloudy yellow body. Sweet fruity aroma and flavor with a fair amount of hops bitterness, low carbonation and a long finish.

3.2 Tap, gold pour, white head, nose is lacking, taste is smooth, crisp, easy to drink lager.

3.3 Draft - Light grain and pale malts. Clear gold with a nice white head. Light pale malts and a slight grainy bitter finish.

2.8 Bottle. Clear golden yellow with a quickly vanishing frothy white head. Aroma has some corn and fruit. Taste is sour. Has grain and some corn. A bit dusty. A pretty basic pils with some extra spin.

3.7 Hyväntuoksuinen kuten BrewDogit yleensäkin. Aika maistuvaa juotavaa, vähän hiivainen ehkä, mutta ei liian. Maku on maittava. Viileään syysiltaan.

2.8 Bottle. Sweet and rather dirty maltiness. Then the herbal and dry hops takes over and turns a rather mediocre lager into a fake lager.
