Amber colouring with a decent sized head. Tinnie, bitter, woody, roasted taste. Never again.

Genuine Pilsener my arse. Anyway this smells really disgusting. Vomit, grass, heaps of DMS and metal are all present. It tastes a lot better thankfully, the DMS seems to manifest itself in a dried apricot type flavour, which works pretty well with the unfermented sweetness. Not bitter but has a dirt aftertaste. Hold your nose and it's drinkable.

Something of a hoppy aroma. Flavour is immediately bitter and a little sour in the finish. The sour taste is the only thing which distinguishes this from regular Aussie crap.

A nice tasting beer but not really a pilsener. Not bitter enough. Too similar to draught. The reason why I gave this beer such a low score was that West End has aggresively marketed this beer over the last few months as a pilsener and when I finally tasted it, I was bitterly (or bitterlessly) disappointed. Tates ok but not as a pilsener.

Fresh Pils, yay! If only it was terrific instead of the insipid, tempremental mediocrity sold at a premium price $36AUS per 24 x 375mls. Nice but lazy head. Light nose of flowery grass/cowhide, light first flavour is all bitter Saaz then develops to full bitterness, coarse acid finish of wood (jarrah) and final finish of toffee(slightly burnt). Hey that’s not too bad. Tip: Don’t drink this out of the bottle, use a clean, rinsed lager style glass. Amazed at the difference.
