On-tap at the Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst.

Pours a very pale yellow colour, with a slight cloudiness giving it a sense of translucency. Good "pilsenery" frothy white head. Minimal lacing, although we do get a few rings of suds. Fine carbonation, with some potential to the body. Not bad.

Nose is sharp and quite clean, with what I identify as "generic Euro hop character"—like the quality of a green-bottle lager, rather than the more herbal noble hop fragrance. Slight hay, a bit of grain and something a bit starchy. It's not bad all up, but a little flat.

Taste is similar—meaning it comes across much like a generic Euro pilsener. Light and clean and quite summery in its way: hay characters with a bitter lemon finish. It's not bad, but it's very light and lacking in some interest.

Feel is crisp and bright with the lingering bitterness.

Not a bad drop. It's clean and obviously well-made. It's just a bit dull. I compare this to a similarly easy-drinking and light beer from the same stable, their Sorachi Ace Kölsch, and there's miles of difference in terms of complexity and intrigue.
