3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
3rd Beer of my random tasting evening on 12 Aug 2011. The brown 330ml bottle had 12 days life left when poured into a Veltins Pilsner badged stemmed tulip.
Regular Pilsner/Lager look: golden, clear and bright, the pure white head produced some good lacing as the beer sank down the glass.
Being made with a blend of liberty and saaz hops ensures there is a citrusy feel to the beer both in taste and in the aroma given off. Although not strong, there was a grapefruit hint throughout the tasting and it added a nice dimension to the beer.
I’m never going to be a huge lager/pilsner fan, but this sits highly in my eyes and if it was a hot day I’d consider having another.

UPDATED: MAR 17, 2012 On tap at Cock & Hoop, High Pavement, Nottingham. Typical pils looks - pale, clear yellow; high carbonation; small, patchy head. Mild aroma - slight citric, a little grass. Nice wheaty, yeasty, subtly sweet taste - especially refreshing after the highly hoppy number I’d had before. I enjoyed this but can’t quite put my finger on why because no one thing about it was particularly remarkable.
