In a sense Matilda Bay gets some both unfair hate and praise all at the same time. They make some very good craft style beers, but there are many brewers who outdo them to significantly less fanfare. And distribution. This is one of, it not the only, beer in their lineup I haven't actually sampled before. The label claims that MB have made a hearkened call back to the 1800's when the first Bohemian Pilsners were brewed.
I somehow doubt it. The feel is watery, which is perhaps to be expected, but it's really the flavours that go kaput. The hops are barely noticeable, it's the malts that dominate... but by saying dominate I'm more insinuating that Wee Man won a fight against Mini Me. Yes, there was a victor, but at the end of the day they are both still midgets. There's the trademark Pils carbonation sting... and that's about all folks.
It is easy to drink, and somewhat refreshing, so is fairly well suited to the Australian market due to our summer weather. If you're looking to take some of the burn out of the sun and demolish a beer, this one will do it, but you will barely notice it before it's gone. Average beer, nothing bad about it but nothing exciting either.
6/10
