330ml into glass. Spicy hop/malty nose. Golden amber beer with thin white head. A few bubbles. Slick mouthfeel, sweet taste. Nice crisp finish of creamy hops. Could drink a few of these in a session.

(Bottle) Hazy pale golden with short-lived thin loose white head. Not very appealing aroma of grain, grass and cardboard hints. Light body, good carbonation. Taste starts with a pleasant soft light sweetness, goes through a rather bland mid-palate and finishes with some rather harsh bitterness. An unusual take on a pilsner, but not really to my taste.

From a 330ml bottle on 11/12/2014. Pours a light clear golden with a small head. The nose features some prominent grassy malt and saaz hops. Taste wise, it’s a bit confusing, with earthy, metallic and chemical flavours coming over the top of some mild bready and grassy malt, with some moderate hops following. Light bodied with lively carbonation. A little harsh and difficult to enjoy.

Pours gold with a fading white head.Nose shows honey and soft floral and spicy hops. Not too bad.Similar flavours. Some bready malt and spicy hops. Afterwards some stale cardboard notes show up.Body feels a bit watery.

Bottle. Amber with an inch of white head. Aroma is bready with mild floral and spice notes. Promising. A little on the watery side. Taste is sweet and grainy with dull bitterness. Some pepper at the end, but the promising hop notes in the aroma are swamped by erm... classic Oz lager notes. Just OK.
