Pours amber with a small head.
Nose shows sweet floral noble hops with sweet biscuity malt in the background. Quite authentic, very pleasant.
Flavours are very similar, but too sweet for a pilsner. Lots of honey notes. Not really refreshing, rather cloying.
Too muuch carbonation. Mind you, at least that dries it out a little.

Pours a gold metallic colour, gentle bead feeding a thick, dense head, off-white, tightly packed, great retention. It's a bit dark for a pilsener, but it does look good. At the same time, I want more flaws here. It's a pretty picture postcard of a beer, but there's no character to it.
Smell is a bit lacklustre. Grainy, with barley and a slight corn note. Touch of some mild citric hop with hints of grass, but yeah, a subdued, dull smell.
Taste is also lacklustre. Lots of grain on there with corn and barley notes, mostly savoury with a touch of caramel malt for sweetness. Virtually no flavour development by the mid which is bland and empty. Finish has a slight floral edge but mostly dry, grassy character. Mouthfeel is piss-poor, way thin and just way fizzed up; so drying on the back.
A bland, largely characterless brew, drinkable enough but not one I'd choose to have.

Picked up online from the Adelaide Bier Shop.
Pours a hazed and rather dark golden colour, certainly very dark for a pilsener, with a frothy but rather ambiguous head of white foam. After deciding it really doesn't want to be a head any more, this disintegrates to a meshy film over the top. Lacing is sudsy, but present at least. Overall, not a particularly great looking pils.
Nose is dry and a little organic, with a touch of yeast, some carbonic acidity and a green funk that almost pretends as though it's hops, even though it really isn't. Again, I'm not particularly impressed.
Taste is somewhat dry, with some bready characters throughout, and a weird rotting fruit acidity. Organic fustiness ruins the palate, and adds a sweetness that would be unwanted in any style, let alone one supposedly as dry and crisp as this should be. Feel is even lacking the requisite carbonation.
Really not impressed by this at all. I had hopes for this brewery, that they could produce pleasant things at their small scale, but this brew is really not very good at all—so much so that I'll think twice before grabbing another of their beers.
