COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The key to the distinctive flavour is the use of quality ingredients. Using a much higher hopping level than most Australian Lagers, James Squire Pilsener is brewed with Czech Saaz and New Zealand Belgian Saaz aroma hops to produce the pronounced floral spicy finish and the wonderful herbaceous aroma.

Nice pils. Relatively mild hop aroma. Anice spicy, bitter hop flavour with some sweet caramel malt to balance out in the middle before a dry finish. Golden-yellow colour. This is definitely up there with Emersons Pilsener, althouh the James Squire has less of a continental flavour due to the fairly substantial malt middle.

Stylish pilsener, that gets better each time you try it. It is well balanced with its maltiness and it’s hoppy finish. Best on tap.

duff (5484) - Lund, SWEDEN - JAN 28, 2002

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2003 Lovely czeck style pilsener, lovely maltiness (mmmmmmmm.....) and great hop bitterness on the finish. Beautiful malts, with some lovely floral, bitter hops. Very well balanced. Could be my favourite pils, if not, its very close. Tastes very authentic.

motelpogo (5530) - Plzen, CZECH REPUBLIC - OCT 9, 2001

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2006 this used to be a pretty good pils. alas nowadays the previously light body is all sticky, the bitterness is muted, the hop character is one-dimensional and it gets up my nose a bit. and for all that it’s still one of the better options at most sydney pubs

thebaron99 (110) - Royston Park SA, AUSTRALIA - OCT 7, 2001

Big butter nose(not a gangster!), followed by a spicy Saaz flavour. No skunk here, all delicious leather and meady/honey/rose water fizz trip. Impress your grandfather with this one, tell him it’s Orstralyan.
