On tap down in Dusborough. Not bad but not great. Just an easy going, quaffable pilsner without too much going on. Inoffensive

Tasted at a tapas bar in Aachen, Germany, on tap. Light, clear straw-yellow colored with a thin white head that settles quickly. Straightforward malt aroma. Odd, off-putting flavor of metal and mold. Not sure if this batch traveled well. Thin bodied. This one does not live up to the style, not complex, off-flavors.

Sampler tray at their new location in Margaret River region. Slightly hazy lemon yellow with a clingy white whispy head. Floral perfumey hop aroma, clean pale malts with a lovely floral hop accent, lemony tart biter finish. Very nice.

Tasted on Draught at the brewery/restaurant. Woo, reading Ol_Juntan’s review I hope they have improved the recipe, or my judgement must be poor!! The Pils’ I tasted over the weekend was a decent hop driven quencher, that had a very clean palate and didn’t share the other beers general woody/nutty flavours. Pours a crystal clear pale straw with a short dense, soapy white head. Leafy and grassy, bitter hop nose, with only a hint of grain. Hops follow into the mouth with a generous bittering bite. Grassy sides and a little malt and sweet honey upfront, low lemon notes and husky grains mid palate. Quite clean throughout, with reasonable balance, light bodied and crisply refreshing. This was the last beer I tasted for the day and it turned out to be the best. Quite nice!!

Hoppy brew!!! Pleasantly smooth compared to most German beers I have had. $3.00 Canadian for a pint. Not bad! Cheers, HW

This is the first one of these I tried on tap at brewery: PGC with a medium small shortish lasting white head. Medium woody grassy floral hop aroma with disappointing hint of corny adjuncts! Medium thin body. Flavour is medium intenisty classic sharp hoppy bitter - with a very faint hint of a chemical adjunct. It certainly tastes much better than the aroma. Finish is dry but on the stalish side of the bitter. Larger than life size animated Chuckee-Cheese Ompah puppets and speaker playing loudly in my ear does not impress. At least they turned down the music when we asked them and the German Style Biergarten food was very good!

Pale golden colour with an initial pleasant hoppy bite. Short head with a slightly oily taste at mid palate with some sweetness coming through late. Enjoyed this one the most out of the three I tried in this little microbrewery/restaurant.
