Pale gold. Thick head. Mildly herbaceous hop accent with some pale malt. Lowish bitterness, so I wouldn't call it German style of any type, but it's still a good pilsner.

5oz pour at The Magnet. Pours clear pale blonde with white head. Fresh grass and dank oily hops on the nose. Flavour has straw, fresh grass, some fresh dankess. Solid carbonation. Fantastic.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear pale golden with a large white foamy head. Aroma has crisp grassy hops, some spiciness more like a Czech pils, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is crisp and clean, with a nice grassy hop character, straw, and crisp biscuity malt. Grassy, nicely hopped, crisp and clean. Very good.

473 ml can. Pours a bright amber with light head. Big initial aromas of dank hops, settling to oily pine and grapefruit along with biscuity malts. Flavors some same though very much less hoppy and more biscuit.

Dark brown, thick head. Nice roasty, hoppy nose, herbaceous and woody, with some nice honey notes, too. On the palate it'�s surprisingly sweet up front, brown sugar and milk chocolate. Moderate bitterness, hops notes more orangey, only slightly weedy. Lots going on - the aroma and taste are quite different from one another but both really good.

Opaque, thin head. The terpenes dominate the aroma, on the palate there'�s more complexity. Softish malt base, moderate bitterness, light terps, and floral hops. It comes together fairly well.

On tap at The Magnet. Pours turquoise? Aroma dominated by fresh seaweed. Flavour is sour with strong briny seaweed flavours. No idea what gives it that colour. It's fine.
