"skiff" small pour on-draught @ the brewery in Port Douglas. $9 AUD.
Great clarity. Vibrant gold colour.
Dry with some grassy spice. Not quite as refreshing as I'd expect of a pilsner proper, but it's not a bad brew. More Saaz spiciness is needed, and crisp clean fresh pilsner malt needs to be at the fore.
Low C+ / ABOVE AVERAGE

Drunk fresh at the brewery in June 2022.
In the glass, it's a lovely chicken-soup dark golden yellow. There's evident heavy carbonation, a thin, persistent head and lacing down the glass.
There are clean malt notes on the nose. Maybe a slight, earthy hop presence.
As with many lagers the taste follows the nose. There's moderate, clean bitterness and earthy, woody hop overtones overlaying a mild biscuity malt body.
Mouthfeel is quite prickly and carbonated. It immediately brought to mind Lifesavers (that's a ring-shaped, zesty and sherbety candy for non-Aussies out there).
Overall this is a really nice lager. It definitely invites a second glass and would be a beer easy beer to spend a night with if the opportunity arose.
Cheers!
