MMMM dried apricots and passionfruit
Marlborough hops, NZ is famous for its Sauv Blanc is that because not everyone has tried this beer?

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.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.

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.

Best pilsner i have had. Nice and fruity taste to it. There seem to nr a difference in taste from bottle to bottle.

500ml bottle. Pale during the pour but colours up into a hazy amber ith a minimal white head that fades to a ring of white lace around the glass.Sweet passionfruit aroma with a citrus backdrop. Light in the mouth with mellow fruit flavours and a dry finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
500ml bottle. Probably one of the nicest Pilsners I have had. Vibrant gold hue with creamy white head. I liked the crisp fresh citrus and floral hop aromas with a light malty bread & cracker base. The flavour is nicely balanced sweet then bitter with a dry finish. Smooth and crisp. Great stuff. Enjoyed it with a curry.
