Appearance-Golden in colour, no head and average carbonation.
Smell-Faint hop and yeast smell.
Taste-The hops give a bitter edge to the beer but leave quickly making the flavour a bit short but it's a thirst quencher.
Mouthfeel-Average mouthfeel which fizzes away.
Drinkability-A drinkable but underwhelming pilsener,could sink a few on a hot summers day.

Format: standard 330mL brown bottle with a simple but stylish label.
Appearance: this beer pours a clear golden colour with a large foaming white head - decent retention and some lacing
Aroma: the aroma shows bread malts and a mild grass hop with some spice characters.
Taste: more of the bread malts with a touch of yeast in there. Definitely those grass hops and spices. Refreshing.
Aftertaste: the hop bitterness lingers through here, which is nice. A touch of those malts.
Mouth feel: moderate in both body and carbonation. A decent feel.
Overall: one of Monteith's better beers of late - not a bad pilsener at all. A good standard pilsener flavour of grass hops and bread malts. Decent at AU$55 a case.

Excellent clarity in this light amber ale. Both flavor and aroma are a bit light for style, particularly the aroma. The flavor suggests the use of something other than, or in addition to, traditional Saaz hops. Well-crafted and balanced, as well as very fresh (of course).
Feel: Light+ body with medium-high, very crisp carbonation. Clean finish.
O: very drinkable if somewhat light flavored pilsner.

A: Pours a clear golden color with a decent head that fades to some lacing.
S: Aroma of mild citrus with some malt sweetness and fresh grain.
T: Taste has a bit of citrus with malt sweetness, bit of caramel and grain. Decent bitterness and a fairly dry finish.
F: Light body, crisp, smooth and refreshing.
O: Not what would consider a Bohemian Style but still quite enjoyable. Good for a few.
