Gyllene i färgen, stort vitt skum. Doftar gräs, malt, hö, humle, citrus. Smakar friskt av ljus malt, humle citrus, gula frukter som nektarin aprikos, ananas och passionfrukt. Bra pils.

floydian1 (714) - FNQ, AUSTRALIA - MAY 4, 2012
This is a decent German style pilsner with a crisp refreshing palate and nicely balanced sweet honey malt vs dry hop bitter flavour profile. Medium light body with average carbonation. Golden pour with white head. 500ml bottle.

Well balanced pils, slightly weaker malt balance than expected. Citrusy hops give long lasting, satisfying taste on palate. Tried on tap and in bottle, prefer bottle as glaciers are crisper ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a bright lemony straw colour. The head didn’t last long for this bottle. Not a strong nose: a little passionfruit, a little lager-yeast sulfur and not much else. Things get better in the mouth: fruity cascade and aromatic noble hops play out in equal measure over a biscuity malt backbone. Not a skunky as a Bohemian or German pilsner. Dry, bitter, herbal finish. Full and creamy. Carbonation is just about perfect.

stewac01 (62) - AUSTRALIA - APR 18, 2011
Pours a hazy straw yellow with a thin, foamy head. Aromas are fresh and balanced - NZ hops upfront (passionfruit, guava and ripe tropical fruits) backed by bready and slightly sweet continental pilsner malt. Flavours are similarly hop driven and harmoniously balanced. The palate is incredibly smooth, enhanced by soft carbonation, gentle bitterness and a slightly acidic hop tang. A classic modern Pilsner.

Maris (748) - Canberra, AUSTRALIA - NOV 16, 2010
UPDATED: NOV 17, 2010 From a 330ml bottle on 17/11/2010. Has a distinct floral, bready, fruity (particularly passionfruit) aroma. Has an unbelievable amount of flavour for a pilsener, dominated by citrus fruits, more passionfruit, honey and spices. Finishes with a good dash of bitterness. Exceptionally good.
