Iron House Pilsener

Brewed by Iron House Brewery
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Ironhouse Point, Australia

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

330ml bottle. Only a slightly darker shade than water. Head is minimal with a sparse scattering of white bubbles. Grassy straw aroma and a harsh acrid flavour that leaves a strong bitter aftertaste. Not pleasant at all.

From a 330ml bottle on 14/3/2011. Pours a clear straw colour with a decent head. Has a moderate grassy, malty aroma. In the mouth, it’s got lots of Euro malt and Saaz character, along with a bit of citrus at the end. Nicely hopped and quite refreshing. A pretty good pilsener.

A surprisingly solid Bohemian from an unexpected quarter. More authentic and satisfying than 90% of the pilseners I’ve encountered down under. Hazy gold with a fleeting head. Good malty aroma with some fruity esters and for once real Saaz presence. Medium bodied with a nice, phlegmy finish. Good Saaz presence again on the tongue. Very well rounded, with a solid bitter finish. Onya, fellas - nice work. I’d buy this if I could find it on NSW shelves. (330ml bottle from Australian Micro Beer Club March 2011)

Bottle - Slightly murky, gold, - Thin white head. medium carbonation. Medium to full bodied. Malty with plenty of hop flavour (saaz) and a medium bitterness. A good refreshing brew.
