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.

Craft Pilsner
Craft is a Greek microbrewery, whose Red Ale beat me across the face closer to the start of the challenge. While my palette was probably more primative back then, I remember it as a big powerful beer.
How would their Pilsner come across? Generally such a light and nimble customer, would it trade in the dagger to swing an axe like it's Red Ale brethren?
Pilsners are like the token skinny blonde of the beer world. Light and flimsy, and without much depth. This one however, is rocking some badonka-donk. It's thicker in the hips, and the bitter aftertaste is about as chunky as I've come across in a Pilsner.
While this is impressive the flavours don't really match the body. It's a bit all over the place really, it's grassy and malty but nothing is balanced. It doesn't 'hit the spot' like a regular Pilsner, it's trying to do too many things at once and not excelling at anything in the process.
