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.

Trumer Pils
It really is amazing how subtle efforts can completely revolutionise a beer. The last beer I downed was the Tuborg Green, which was really just a soft, watery, euro Pilsner.
This is, in a sense, a soft, watery Euro Pilsner.
The Tuborg was shit, whereas the Trumer is great. Let me try and explain why.
The body of the Trumer Pils has just that little bit more depth to it. The Tuborg was like a 3 piece band with only a guitarist. The Trumer has a bassist.
The flavours in the Tuborg were extremely feint, and tasted forced. The Trumer has layers of malt and hops and citrus that pop in at different intervals. It feels more natural and organic. The Tuborg is an mp3. The Trumer is vinyl.
This is a great example of an easy to drink beer, with just enough grunt. Pilsners don't need to be a beverage version of Dark Side of the Moon. Keep it simple, but don't disrespect the person who'll be cracking the bottle cap off at the other end either.
Probly one of the best Pilsners around this one.
