4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear gold with a large white head. Lovely spicy hop nose. Grassy with sweet honey malts. Flavour starts with clean malts, and a very long soft hoppy finish. Great herbal spicy notes. So refreshing, my favourite lager yet.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear bright golden pour with a huge rocky white head. Well-carbonated. Light fruits, floral hops, and pilsner malt were prevalent in the aroma, and blended very well together. Crisp and very clean on the palate. Floral hops blended will with the pils malt for the flavor. Very refreshing and expertly crafted!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(500ml bottle, best by 2/06) Lightly hazed straw body topped by a big white head. Aroma is medium sweet, herbal/grassy, some cereal, lemon. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit/herbal, light lemon. Crisp light-medium body. Very enjoyable.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at Olbaren during RBESG 05 pub crawl. Really tasty hoppy Pils. Banana malt, very crispy, fresh, tasty and full of flavour. As previously noted, this had a thick mouthfeel for a Pils, and seems too good for the style generally.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy yellow, thick white foamy head. Malty, fruity nose. Refreshing diacetyl flavour. Very fruity and grassy. Thick mouthfeel (at least for a pilsner)

Bottled (BB 03/2006)
Pale golden, a bit hazy golden color, good white head. Hoppy, quite plain grassy nose. Sweet, a bit hoppy, grassy flavors all over.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: SEP 18, 2005 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy warm yellow. Smells hoppy and flowery. Quite sweet with a very flowery aroma (eldeberry flower). I´m usually not a pilsener fan but this was surpirsingly good first mouthfull.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2008 It’s like there’s a party in my mouth and everyone is invited! I struggle to think of a beer that I’ve found more enjoyable!
Available at the Masonic Hotel Devonport NZ
And now at Celebrations in Rivervale WA out of stock at the moment but I’ve convinced the manager to get more in.
