THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

St Arnou Pilsner
I had the Pale Ale from these guys a little while back, and it was a fairly decent beer. Very, very clean, not huge on flavour but a pretty polished effort and an easy to drink beer.
Here we have a Pilsner from them, which should be reasonably different in nature than a Pale Ale you would expect.
Not really in this instance.
It's very much in the same style as the Pale Ale, very crisp and clean. This is not necessarily a bad attribute but there's just not a lot of flavour going on. You do get that citrusy tinge, but it's just that... it's a tinge more than a burst.
It's a bit tough for me to rate, as with the Pale Ale, it does top most mainstream beers but when compared to creative micros it really does fall short. I think I gave the pale ale a 7.5, this is just a touch off it's pace so I'll rate it accordingly.
It's a good beer, but is staying too far within it's own comfort zone.
7/10
