330mL bottle. Pours hazy straw yellow with a dense and persistent white head that leaves some thick lacing. Floral and grassy aroma. Slightly sweet, medium bitterness. Light bodied, average carbonation, fairly smooth with a long grassy finish.

I’m a bit iffy on the condition of this, as there wasn’t too much in the hop presence, but lots of honey and biscuit malts. Full bodied. Nice lacing. Good easy drinking but not too pilsnerish.

Bottle. Pours with a large white frothy head over a clear yellow-amber body. Aroma of bready-grain maltyness and resinous hops. Finishes with a permeating bitterness. A nice pilsner.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 davidm (1777) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - NOV 13, 2009
Bottle. Very good pilsner. Aroma of banana, and also caramel. Flavour is long-lasting, and it has nice bitterness. Medium body, and oily in the palate. Yellow, cloudy and bubbly, with a fizzy white head that disappears.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 BeerChaser0078 (909) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - OCT 26, 2009
Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden orange with a short white head that quickly shrinks to surface cover. Aroma and flavour are pretty similar: hoppy with notes of citrus, yeast, bubblegum, malt, clove, tropical fruit and a little sweet spiciness. Mouthfeel is slick and dry with some mid-palate sweetness and a medium to long bitter finish. A very good example of what a pilsner should be like. The guys at Murrays certainly know what they’re doing.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 bluebetty (1019) - AUSTRALIA - OCT 5, 2009
Poured a lovely slightly cloudy ornage with a smallish white head. Lots of hops on the nose with the typical US hop variety aromas. Lots of citus & pine / resinous type aromas. Flavour is once again about the hops with a little malt quite late. Quite a good beer
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Nicko (191) - Ashfield, AUSTRALIA - JUN 12, 2009
Bottle, poured with a massive frothy head, opaque orange body. I liked this one, despite having a somewhat muddled definition of what a pilsener is, thanks to the liberal over (mis)use here of the word. Sweet floral saaz aromas, and nice bitterness too.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 nate2g (1548) - Boomtown! / Waikato, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 7, 2009
Bottle. Pours a darker golden with a lively white head. The aroma is extremely floral with grapefruit, berries, lychee, melon and citrus notes, and biscuit malt thrown in as well. Very nice! The flavour is biscuit and beautiful tropical fruit as expressed by the aromatics. Extremely crisp and refreshing, this one is very quaffable! Medium bodied and good carbonation. Hoppy, bitter finish. This pils is spot on.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 lgklotet (432) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 6, 2009
Bottle. Hefty hop punch in aroma, grass and citrus. Some grains too. Good stuff. Taste is bitter, some malt sweetness, lager and notes of sulphur. Good stuff! Very good interpretation of the style. I like!
