A Mes rate: Tap at the Speights bar in Temple.Gold with a brownish hue and a slight almost white head. Wheaty malt aroma with some light grassy hops and some very very slight metal but it’s not a spoiler. Nice pale malt flavour with some faint but pleasant Sauvin and Saaz with more slight metal notes. Little kick of sweetness on the finish. A most tolerable pils.

May 12, 2008 Half pint on tap served far too cold at The Southerner, Temple, London. Shining golden body with a few white patches on the top. Great laceworks on the glass. Hoppy aroma. Refreshing hoppy taste with dry, earthy malts behind. Clean palate. Much more hops in this one compared to what they call pilsener in Norway. With a better serving temperature this one could have been even more flavoursome (01.05.2008).

Apr 6, 2008 Draught@Speights Ale House, Queenstown, New Zealand. Golden beer with a weak aroma and a very bitter and burn’t flavour. Overall a poor bitter drink.

Feb 2, 2008 (On tap) Clear, golden with an off-white head that leaves some laces. Rather neutral aroma - a whiff of malt perhaps. Medium body with a good, clean, malt base, some flowery notes and a fairly solid bitterness. A very clean and distinct Bohemian style pilsener SO far away from the traditional, sticky NZ lager. 250108

Jan 16, 2008 I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon.
Hoppy aroma, with a sharp, hoppy flavor.
