Brewed to the exacting standards of a classic Pilsner lager, but with the addition of hops from the USA's Yakima Valley.

33cl can from Tesco, Warfield. A slightly hazy pale amber pour with a loose cream head; aroma of mango and passionfruit; crisp tropical fruit taste with some pineapple, but then disappointingly thin with a grainy body and some cream soda to finish. Intersting, but a bit of a let down.

Can shared at Chris & Ruth’s pre-GBBF Shindig 2017 - Part 2. A clear pale golden beer with a small white head. Aroma of grassy hops, some grapefruits, flowers. Taste of soft tropical fruits, yellow fruits, grassy hops, easy to drink, good!

On tap at Eebria Taproom Bermondsey. Hazy orange colour. Light tangerine very drinkalbe. Not a lot of lager yeast or malt character. Very tropical fruit tasty but not a lager. Lovley fruit.

Can from Tesco Amersham. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, grassy citrus hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a crisp, light, fresh, zesty lemon citrus, dry floral hop bitter palace and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can from Tesco (yes Tesco) Bicester, Oxon. Consumed at home Wednesday 17th May 2017 This is a lovely fruity pilsner, really enjoying this. Ok so it’s not as crisp as some pilsners and it might not be entirely true to style (though I am just guessing on this point), but I really like this. The hops lift this and add another layer, this is a clean, fruity, refreshing and fab beer and nice to see unconventional hops used. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Can. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Dark gold. Not much in the way of a head. Nose has paper. Rubbery malts. Hint of hop. Some grass. Compost. Taste is sickly sweet, and jarring, vegetal bitter. Flabby mouthfeel. Acrid bitter finish. Grim.

Can. Bright clear gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Light and mildly sweet malts. Modest bubblegum esters. Mild hop spice. Very light citric hop. Light finish but suffers a bit after drinking Vocation’s ’Dirty Pilsner’, feels mildly staid.
