Dry, Drinkable and nicely malty. Great with a wurst saurkraut or a cheeky afternoon in leather shorts, all by yourself. Spanner.

Pours clear light gold with a *huge* white head. High carbonation keeps the head there for a while too. Looks like I expect a Pils to look. Not much in the aroma, just a touch of fruity malt. Flavour is very clean and innoffensive. Balanced, with the finish towards the bitter side. Thin watery mouthfeel. Very refreshing, nothing great about it though.

A golden yellow beer with a thick head that laces the glass for the whole expierence.The aroma is strange as it smells fruity but there is no fruit tatse.Kind of malty as the finish stayed with u for awhile.

Its smooth and clean tasting. Not a strong pilsener flavour but its still an easy drinking beer without any skunk. I quite enjoyed this one.

Thought this was ok! Colour was pale golden with a short white head. Not a lot of aroma and only just enough bite for me.

I found this to lack the pilsener bite, sure it had some bitterness - but not that pleasant. A bit watery - I wont rush out and buy it again, thats for sure. cheers

Herbal and hoppy aroma. Pale golden, white head, fair lace. Sweet, light bitter, weak with a very short finish.

This pilsener poured a small white quickly dissolving head of small bubbles. There was very little lacing on the sides of my glass. It had a golden colored body. This brew was thin and watery tasting. There was a slight bitterness noted and this brew lacked character in my opinion.

This brew pours a large head of fine to large white bubbles that quickly dies down to a small head. It has a transparent carbonated straw yellow body with a mild malt aroma. The flavor is mildy hoppy with a slight bite that smooths in the finish. I started burping after only a few sips. It is not a bad brew, but nothing to write home about. It has enough character to drink with a meal and is a beer that you could drink a lot of in a given evening.

While being aware of the need to maintain objectivity in beer ratings, it is always hard not to compare most beers with the Aussie standards and make the first observation that a beer like this is superior in many ways. There is a pleasant waft of noble hop in the aroma (ie compared with nuthin in a veeb or 2es)and a soft maltiness. The bottle doesn't talk about Rheinheitsgebot so I assume thare are some unwanted sugar additives that contributes to the alcohol content but not the body, but still the tightness of the head suggests that it is less of a percentage than the local drops. This batch is at least fresh.
