From a 330ml bottle on 17/5/2011. Pours a pale golden with a bit of a head. Has a quite a malt and slightly fermented fruit aroma. The flavours are grassy malt, citrus fruit and a touch of spiciness. There is a big dose of bitterness which lingers. This is actually a good refreshing pilsener with a fair bit of character. Much better than most of the ratings on here suggest.

Tap. Hazy gold with a small but lasting white head. Aroma of citrus and earth, some dried peach and butter. Taste has some fruity sweetness and butter - the malts are kind of muddy. Quite sharp bitterness doesn’t quite cover it and it ends up just bitter.

330mL. Pours a deep, fizzy yellow with a small, white, merigue head. Okay lace. Aroma is old fruits (prunes, raisins), African or Caribbean macro lager, artificial peach and old orange candies. Taste is oily, sweet, trashy. Pretty poor showing.

Tap. Nice pilsener. Aromas has grass, and flowers. Taste is sweet, with a bitter bite. Oily palate, with a thin-to-medium body. Dark yellow, with a thin-but-frothy head.

nice attempt at a Czech style lager, generous with the saaz and solidly malty, but a bit unclean - diacetyl all over it and some banana too. if they can fix the fermentation could be a really good beer though.

Bottle. Pours a nice straw colour with small white head. Nice hop aromas with a fair amount of malt sweetness. Given this am expecting a german style pilsner. Flavour though is more about the hope with a nice crispness more in line with a czech pilsner. Nice balance mouthfeel. Good beer

330ml bottle. Amber and golden in colour with a medium foam head. Well carbonated with a sweet mellow aroma of piney hops. Also mellow flavour, well balanced with a nice light mouthfeel.

Good retention on this pilsener,helps a lot nice gold colour.Aroma grain,fruit woody touch saaz hops a great starter.Flavour woody grain nice hops taste,mild bitter is good,enjoying this,honey taste and some crispness ,finish good alround very tasty.

Bottle - Pale yellow with smallish head and a little retention. Its aroma is a lot like a European pilsener -- something I wasn’t expecting -- with marked maltiness. Flavor was crisp with a nice amount of tyically pilsener-style bitterness. Fairly watery really and lacking in oomph, but quite OK.

Bottle, poured straw colour with little head that dissipated almost immeadiately. Malt aromas with underliying fruity hops. Crisp tasting with fruity tones coming in and a slight bitter after taste. Look forward to seeing what these guys have in store in the future!
