this is one of the best pilsner beers in perth. it is brewed with original german malt an the best hops. great flavour!

Sampled at the brewery. The bartender said this is their most popular brew of the lineup. Bright golden with a nice thick white cap that leaves generous lace. Floral perfumey aroma, very nice, with underlying clean grains. Crisp and well-hopped with nice floral hop flavouring and a sound bitter finish. An excellent pilsener.

Draught, unfiltered, unpasteurised @ the brewhouse, Henley brook, Swan Valley. Slight chill haze more than residual yeast deposits and proteins. Medium gold in body adorned by a firm, frothy white head that managed some nice lacework. Big buttery, sourdough, cracked pepper and fresh mowed grass aroma. A lot cleaner in the mouth, very light in body, prickly in carbonation, and clean and crisp in the finish. Dry, barnyard malts make up the palate with a lesser power to some dusty, spicy hops in the arse end that give a very firm bitter bite to it. Overall I can’t argue for or against. This was just a simple, pleasant, brainless quaffer that went down the way it was made to. Quite nice!!!

Hazy straw gold body with a poor head but decent lacing. Yeasty dough aroma as well hops. Pleasant bitterness that stays the journey then dries out on the finish. Also noticeable in the taste was light grainy malt and hop oil. I liked this pils but I don’t think it will be everyone’s cup of tea. This is a new brewer in the swan valley and the more competition the better.
