3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
It’s a straw, hazy beer with a huge, white and lasting head. The aroma has a lot of fresh aroma haps with a lot of fruity notes. The flavour leads the thoughts toward a pale ale, and it’s hard to understand, that this "only" is a pilsner. It has a nice bitterness, loads of fruit (citrus mostly) - it’s really, really nice - one of the best pilsners I ever tasted.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
500ml bottle at Coastguard, St Margarets. Hazy pale gold colour with thin lasting white head. Given it’s called a pilsener I wasn’t expecting this. Yeast, passionfruit/tangerine/mango aroma. Lightish in mouth. Some structure. Swallow has more tropical fruit and a good hop bite. Quite drying. An impact lager. Bit too flashy? Maybe. Maybe the fruit is too sweet and cloying to make it drinkable for a session. Creamy in mouth. The drying finish is very pleasant. Good fullness in mouth. In theory I should like it a lot, has all the elements I like, but there is something lacking.

Bottle. Pours pale yellow with a bubbly lacing white head. Aroma is nice, malty and very fruity. Quite full mouthfeel. Taste is round, malty sweet, then turns Saaz bitter. Quite excellent for the style!

an oddity for australasian pilsners in that it mimicks it’s Czech and German ancestors with the bitterness.
deliciously refreshing.
