Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Paler golden coloured with a thin head. Lightly fruit hopped, there is some flavour in this ale-like pilsner! Has a few malts too.

330ml bottle from The Wine Seller, Wolverhampton. Pours clear gold, white head. Light malt aroma. Taste bears a sharp bitterness at the fore with a subtle sweet malt character. An odd hop presence that’s hard to put my finger on. A tad disjointed perhaps.

Pale gold. Great aroma, floral and fruity. Flavour is a bit less intense but the pale malt comes through well.

Very light haze on this gold beer, thin white head. Palate is semi dry and only has moderate carbonation. Dry pale malts, soem bread. Modest floral bitterness. The malts come back with some cream before a bitter floral finish. Mild bitter linger. So what hops are in this Pils? Saaz or Motueka, Nelson and Riwaka? Says both in the beers listing description. Tastes more like Saaz. Slightly disappointing overall, could be crisper and lighter and would have been very interesting with those NZ hops,

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Clear golden body with a thick white head. Steady carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of herbs, spicy hops, pineapple skin and lemon. Flavour of grain, lemony hops and grass. Medium body with a light, oily texture. Crisp fizz. Lean and hoppy. Very enjoyable.

Bottle at Brew, Thonglor, Bangkok. Poured a light hazy straw colour with a big frothy white head. The aroma is dry mineral yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter with a dry crisp yeast hop bitter palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Not a great beer but a good Pilsner.
