2.6 Can. Clear gold, white head. Cardboard, light malts, straw. Semi dry with mild tartness. Soft carbonation. Not great, but also not the worst Pilsener I've had.

2.1 Can from a newsagent. Nose is corn. Taste is grassy, corn, hay, metalic caramel faint hop wet cardboard

2.4 God øl med god kulsyre

3.0 Flasche 33cl. Überraschend herbes, fein abgestimmtes Pils. Man hat nicht den Eindruck, dass Carlsberg hier an den Rohstoffen gespart hat.

3.4 Can at my hotelroom, golden, small head. Aroma is malt, grain, sweet. Taste is the same, bitter, grainy, ok pilsener.

2.3 Sweet citrus aroma. Inoffensive yet one dimensional flavour. No bitterness.

2.2 Aroma of malt, sweet hops and mild metal Appearance is meh Taste of strong metal and mild malt Medium carbonation with watery mouthfeel Very meh

2.3 Maltarom med mycket bröd, samt citrus och kola. Ordinär tysk pilsnersmak med mycket bröd och efterhängsen bäska.

3.1 Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

2.7 Paille limpide à la belle carbo, belle mousse tenace, un peu irrégulière. Nez assez neutre, malt, grain, un peu d'herbe. Attaque de même : grain léger, pointe ronde, houblon herbacé, mais qui ne s'exprime pas de plus. Très classique.

2.8 Auf uns, Männer - Auch wenn der Slogan nicht unbedingt zum modernen Standard passt. Man bekommt ein klassisches Pilsner, von dem man sich zur Aussage "nordisch-herb" verleiten lassen will. Bei Blindverkostungen würde man es wohl aber nicht vom südlichen Kollegen unterscheiden können (manche Fernsehsender haben das medienwirksam dagestellt). Nichtsdestotrotz ist es in nettes, solides Industriebier, das sich einfach und gut trinken lässt.

3.7 Nice lager. Would drink anywhere available. Very good choice.

1.0 0.5l pet of the 4.6 abv Romanian version , golden color , aroma of corn and malt and a metallic bitter taste. It pours no foam at all. It is a bad cheap beer.

2.9 500ml bottle brewed by Carlsrom Beverage Co, Romania. Thanks Kolstrinker for this. Pours a generally clear gold, good white head. Gentle pilsner malt sweetness on the nose, continuing to taste, moderate bitterness. Clean, balanced, no off-flavours. Fine.

1.4 Aus der Pulle. Riecht malzig. Der Antrunk ist würzig und muffig. Traditioneller Hopfengeschmack mit einer kräftigen Bitterkeit. Metallisch im Beigeschmack, generell irgendwie vergoren, undefinierbar. Wird von Schluck zu Schluck abartiger. Absolut ekelhaft

2.9 Holsten Pilsener 4.8%. Pale golden, pale malt aroma, light bodied, sweet pale malt, grassy, bittersweet finish. Light Pilsner from Hamburg 🇩🇪

2.2 (500ml can, Berlin) AROMA: very light malt, some bubble gum sweetness, perfume APPEARANCE: clear, airy white head, light light amber yellow TASTE: not much flavor, some light hops coming through, almost zero of that classic pils 'bite', some fruitiness, floral/perfume PALATE: straightforward, non-obtrusive OVERALL: a drinkable light light pilsner. I barely would call this a pils, some atypical flavors but i could see some people liking this. kind of a blend of a pils with Coors light.

1.2 Light golden color, like water with a bit of yellow shade, cristal clear body, a lot of carbonation, two fingers white head that quickly disappears. Nose of intense metal, hard to define something else, maybe some malt and dried corn. Taste of malt and bread but slighlty. Also metallic taste, a bit bitter. No aftertaste. Very very little trace of bitterness.

2.0 Gouden gele pilsener met een stevige witte schuimkraag. Het bier smaakt mild bitter met een mooie moutige en iets wat grassig aroma. gewoon een prima pilsener bier.

2.6 Clean and crisp, some vague hints of spicy flavors. Malty backbone as the bready and yeasty tastes move forward on the tongue. Nothing bad here, but nothing terrible inspiring.

2.5 Bought this in a grocery store and had it at my hotel in Bucharest. It was under a local label. The was an average beer at best. Not a strong taste.

3.1 Van tap bij Nagel in Hamburg. Bitter, würzig, maltige ondertoon. Redelijk stevig. (6-4-2019).

3.0 Holsten knallt am dollsten. Sorry, der mußte nochmal aufgewärmt werden ... 0,5 l long neck bottle from a random Hol´Ab! market. Clear golden in the glass, nearly two finger frothy long lasting white head. Grain caramel smell. Taste starts with dry bitter hop, hints f citrus in the background. Increasing grain in the middle part. Hopy bitterness in the aftertaste. Drinkable German standard stuff.

2.2 0,5 liter bottle from Germany. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is mostly grassy and earthy with some clean malt underneath. Taste has dusty grains, earthy bitterness and some cardboard. Medium to light body with medium carbonation. Not as clean as expected for a "traditional" german pils.

1.9 słomiane z szybko znikajacą pianą. Aromat nikły, słodowy, smak wodnisty, nieprzyjemny. Na finiszu nieprzyjemna goryczka.

4.0 德国，微苦，回味足，汉堡啤酒

3.2 Sweet and nice taste. Nothing especially outstanding but it's a good beer. Nothing else to add.

2.9 Fat på Olearys. Ganska ren men något för söt pils. Hade velat ha en högre beska. Brödig och ganska blommig.

3.4 Un style classique chez les Allemands, mais franchement elle est pas mauvaise et même plutôt rafraîchissante...

2.6 Bottle, 33 cl, at Miniatur Wunderland, Hamburg, i.e. in the very city of the brewer. Somewhat straw features, somewhat thin. Went well with a curry dish.
