Bottle.Pours a clear amber with a rocky head. Nose is slight straw,big time malt, skunk hops. Taste is sweet malt with a muted hop presence. Certainly thin bodied. After sampling Bernard and Urquell before this, was very very letdown.

Bottled (thanks jbrus!). Golden colour, small head. Aroma is malts, hops and some grassyness. Flavour is rubber and grass along with some minor malty notes. Quite papery and grassy aftertaste.

(Bottled, BB 12/2008). Dark honey golden color, small white head. Grassy papery hoppy, a bit sweet nose. Harsh malty, a bit papery flavor with hoppy finish. Quite standard pale lager.

30 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Slight acidic and cornish aroma. Flavour is mild sweet but also decending into a more acidic base flavour into the finish. Lingering dry and acidic cornish finish.

A decent Pilsner. I’m quite partial to it because it’s the one my father always buys as his mainstay. It’s not very special, but it’s got some spicy notes and maltiness that make it more interesting than the average Dutch Pilsner.

Bottle. A dryer and more fullbodied version of their usual pils. Taste is more grainy and hoppy. OK pilsener.
