Not the usual watered down industrial lager, this beer is clean, refreshing but never boring. Robust, full-bodied malt character at the beginning with an assertive bitter finish.

375ml can from Porters Liquor, Bexley. Gluten Reduced. Golden colour, foamy white head and aroma of malt, grain, hay, grass. Taste is sweet, malty, grain, straw, with floral hop and grassy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying grassy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Certainly better than the mad produced swill but mine was over carbed, leading to excess head. Not something I usually complain about. 😆

Pint on tap at Local Taphouse, Sydney. Amber beer with a foamy white head. Light carbonation. Malt forward nose, not what I expect from a pilsner. Full-bodied, good lacing. Very easy to drink with some grainy bitterness balanced by a slightly sweeter finish. Superior Pils, balanced and drinkable.

Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is Pilsner malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light crisp light malt, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Preferred this to the pale ale. The hops gave the beer a nice kick in the finish.

Bottle. Pale gold with a white head that fades a bit. Aroma of hay and bread, light lemon and spices. Carbonation is on the lowish side of things. Quite malty and moderately sweet with firm bitterness. Some lemon, a fair bit of pepper at the end. OK but nothing bold attempted.
