Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Tasted at a tapas bar in Aachen, Germany, on tap. Light, clear straw-yellow colored with a thin white head that settles quickly. Straightforward malt aroma. Odd, off-putting flavor of metal and mold. Not sure if this batch traveled well. Thin bodied. This one does not live up to the style, not complex, off-flavors.
Sampler tray at their new location in Margaret River region. Slightly hazy lemon yellow with a clingy white whispy head. Floral perfumey hop aroma, clean pale malts with a lovely floral hop accent, lemony tart biter finish. Very nice.
On tap down in Dusborough. Not bad but not great. Just an easy going, quaffable pilsner without too much going on. Inoffensive
