Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, small off-white head. Roasted and malty aroma. Quite watery mouthfeel, and also watery to the flavour. Only slight roasted malts and some weak chocolate in it.

Nice dark brown pour with a decent sized tan head. Aroma is subtle coffee tones, taste is also of coffee with chocolate, malt, and roastiness. The only piece lacking in this brew is the intensity of the flavor and perhaps a bit thin as well.

Cask at GBBF Dark ruby colour, good taste of a typical porter with good coffee flavours. Not bad at all.

Bottled. Golden colour. Soapy hop aroma. Dry with rounded mouthfeel.An unfortunate hint of green apples distracts. Short salty finish. A fair attempt on brewing a pilsener, but not entirely succesful. Real good pilseners are very hard to come by.

Golden-straw colour; rather hazy; long-lasting head; slow, small bubbles. Fresh aroma of herbaceous hops, doughy yeast and fresh bready malts. Cheers for not using the cliched noble varieties - as good as they can be it gets dull after a few hundred pilsners. A little bit of marshmallowy maltiness underpins a moderately (~32 IBUs) bitter palate. Finish is a little quick. There is an unplesant mineral note but generally a pretty good pils, one of the better ones in the US.

A red- brown beer with a small disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of prunes, while the flavor is sour malty with notes of prunes. The body is thin.

Bottle Pours a slightly hazy very pale amber/yellow. Good thick white fluffy head. Pale malts and a light sweet honey like note in the aroma. Not sure what they mean by highly hopped. There is some in there but this is just nothing special for me. To me being a good pilsner is like being the best hockey player in Ecuador. That said, still not bad. and yes "drinkable"

Thankd to Goldtwins for this one. Slightly hazy yellow pour under a large white head. The aroma is a mix of soapy hops and lemon sourness. Light bodied with a faint acidic bitterness. This is a long way from a real German Pilsner, but it’s probably not bad for a low alcohol beer.

Thanks to Goldtwins for this! Light lemon yellow pour with a tall white head and just the slightest bit of chill haze. Light hop aroma. Balanced flavor with some malt and hops but thin without being watery. This just needs an overall intensification of all the principle elements and it wouldn’t be too bad.
