Schwartz Brewery Pilsner

Brewed by Schwartz Brewery (ex Macquarie Hotel Brewery)
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Sydney, Australia

Draught at Australian Beer Festival, Sydney. Clean pale gold beer with white foam. Floral, citrusy hop on the nose, not outstanding but enjoyable. Medium-lean body, high carbonation, dry feel. Slight biscuity malt to start, hints of citrus and herby hop towards quite a clean bitter finish. Decent pilsner, goes down quite well.

Draught at Ainslie Bar, Canberra. Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt, citrus and grassy hop notes. Same flavour. A little over carbonated feeling slightly fizzy on the palate. Still a clean and crisp pils though.

This is different for a pilsener but i thought it was palatable, on tap @ Holiday Inn Sydney, its a straw yellow (duh) with a grassy taste throughout, nothing stands out as being hoppy more malty and sweet.

Very little carbonation and a greenish radioactive hue. Tangy with some citrus. More like an APA really.

Draught. Golden yellow with decent white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Light body with medium carbonation. Light malt foretaste with reasonable hoppy bitter finish. Decent beer, but not special.

Hop malt aroma with spices. Clear yellow colour with good head and lacing. Spicy hop malt flavour. Fizzy palate.

Draught at the Schwartz Brewery (4.9-5.1%). Arrived golden yellow with a foamy white head which was average lasting. Aroma was of spicy floral hops with honey, lemon zest and some cooked butter. Flavor was a light hop bitterness with floral hops (mild), some grainy malts, honey lemon, straw and some lightly cooked butter. Light bodied with lively carbonation, watery texture, dry mouthfeel and an ok finish. Better than your typical commercial pilsner but not quite Wicked elf or James Squire standard.

Clear gold body but not bright with a short head. I really like a good crisp pilsener unfortunately this one wasn’t one of them, the stout was better, just.
