Commercial Description:
Slightly bitter, mild, with a fragrance of hops - our pilsner is a cut above the ordinary. A beer with character.

Way more grainy tasting than most pilseners. Overall it is sweet with no distinguishable hop bitterness. Some may like this, but it certainly isn’t for me. Surprisingly interesting flavor for the style. Thinner palate. Just plain funky and weird in a not so great way.

Clean, clear golden colour. Looks fresh. Slightly sweet, almost caramalised nose - good lift. More sweet, malty notes in the mouth. Shows good balance, and does firm up a little at the fnish but could be a littler more hoppy for mine. Not bad though, and going nicely for the first hot night of the season.

Clear golden colour. Grassy, hoppy aroma. Crisp, slightly malty and sweet, good hopbitter finish. Nice.

Pale yellow large short lived head some lacing. Mostly a malt aroma. Nice clean palate. Flavour is a light malt with a slight long lasting bitterness.

what’s the use of a pilsener with no hops. zzzzz. smells slightly fruity and lemony, some sharp grassy hops but not a lot. nice full pils malt but only enough hops so that it’s not sweet, not enough to actually make it bitter. boring, middle of the road but fairly clean at least. rer8: quite sour. worty flavours - perhaps oxidised. i’m sure this is better fresh. (bb 2 months from now)

After drinking so many ales and Belgians this one is a pleasant change. Good golden Pils character and clean head. The nose is dry and has a good hint of grassiness in a way that is similar to a Dutch version. The flavour is equally clean and crisp with a fine balance of hop and malt finishing drily and with a good mouthfeel.

Bottled. Pale golden, creamy head. Dry and lightly grassy. Crisp, soft bready malt character and balanced bitterness. A good, thirst quenching pilsener, perhaps with less than average bitterness.

Realy a very undistinguished pilsener. Nothing great about it, but not awful. Crisp and refreshing but a bit flavourless.
