A really excellent Pilsener. Very easy to drink, a good amount of hoppiness without being over the top. A very good "session beer". Well worth a go if you can get hold of it....

From a 330ml bottle on 11/10/2012. Pours a clear light golden with a medium head. Has a very slight malty aroma. This is more sweet than bitter. The saaz is there but quite muted. If you want something with about a third of the flavour of an Urquell, this is for you. A fairly ordinary pilsener.

330ml bottle- A decent pilsner. Subtle hop bitterness. Drinkable on a hot day.

Australia’s most awarded pilsner it says on the box and I can see why! traditional Saaz hops are used to create an authentic czech pilsner with a bitter start and a clean, silky finish, with undertones of citrus. This beer is a favourite, 15 dollars a six pack? Yes please!

Davros (1473) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - NOV 27, 2011
Pours vibrant gold with a large head. Nose shows hay, bready malt and very faint spicy, grassy hops. Pretty restrained. Flavours include more sweet bready malt and hay alongside spicy hops before a mild metallic bitterness finishes things off. A bit overcarbed.

Clera gold pour frothy head soft carbonation aromas fruity hay flavours fruity gentle bitter slight brightness to the pilsner grain pilsner on the way to being a good one but lacks body and strong flavour still drinkable to the finish okay bitter

as a pilsner fan this was a real let down. None of the attributes i love about pilasters happening hear. Very weak attempt.

mkel07 (2340) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - APR 1, 2011
330ml bottle. Bright golden amber colour with a soft white head of foam. It looks like it has a bit of body to it. Aroma of malt and barley with the faintest hint of sweetness. Medium bodied in the mouth and leaves a lingering dryness on the palate. This beer would suit the hot tropicalk climate of Cairns.

Average beer from Cairns Qld, not a lot of character but would go down easily in the tropical heat of FNQ.

I really wanted to like this being a QLD brewer, but it has a macro taste as though it has come from CUB or the like. Maybe a slightly better xxxx? Doesn’t have the finesse of a urquell or budvar.No disernable bitterness on the finish. Quite astringent. I ended up drain pouring most of this. Oh well I’m sure it goes down easily up north.
