“Brewed with pale pilsner malt for light body and hopped with traditional German hops.”

Glassware: Stemmed tulip.

Appearance: Slightly pale golden pour with a light and fluffy two finger head nestled in on top. It steadily peels off and leaves an absolute smattering of lace on the glass. Looks the goods.

Aroma: Smells the goods too. Lagers and Pilsners are one of many styles SR excel at and those maestro skills are on full display here. Semi sweet cereal malt structure with the spicy and floral Noble hops icing the cake. Impeccably balanced. Old herbs, vines, a good (small) dose of DMS, an earthy minerality and rice crackers filling it out. Absolutely superb.

Flavour: Not as perfectly refined as the aroma but still very good. The semi sweet and grainy/cereal malts plus the Noble hop qualities hit the taste buds simultaneously. Coupled with the right amount of bitterness and the crispiest of textures. Excellent carry through the mid palate and landing on an ultra clean and moreish finish.

Mouthfeel: Light on, refreshing and effortless. Light-moderate body. Co2 is spot on and so too the 5% ABV.

Overall: Top shelf stuff from a top shelf brewery. These guys have firmly planted themselves in our top 10 best Euro-style brewers in Australia. With interpretations this similar to their German counterparts how could they not be?! Magnificent.
