Tried at the brewery, late Oct 2005.

Pale light amber/yellow colour, with quite a bit of frothy head.

Nose is quite hoppy and fragrant. It's quite subdued, and certainly not as flavoursome as many other pilseners, but at least they've got the right idea here.

Taste is a little bit more disappointing. None of that seminal sharp bitter bite you want from a hoppy pils. It was alright, it had some character; I think one of the better ones in the Speight's range.

NZ Trip Jan/Feb '04

A member of Speight's Craft range.

Very dull nose that is slightly fruity and a touch green.

Palate is clean and crisp with some malt and hop flavours but not enough to make it exciting. A little too under flavoured.

The worst of the Speight's craft range, but still drinkable.
