Meantime Pilsener

This is a new one in Australia. I am sticking with pilsener because its a style i am really enjoying at the moment.
Meantime comes from Greenwich in London (so you can appreciate the cleaver name). They do a range of other beers including an India Pale ale at 7.5% which i am sure one of us will write about very soon.
So the Pilsener is a ripper. Unlike the squire this one is quite refined. If beer was made from sand then this would be made from the finest, most pure in the world. It has all the normal character that go with pilsener, dry and full flavoured but the beed is really fine and the colour is a pale yellow. It has a lovely soft hopsy bitterness which is not at all over powering. In fact nothing in this beer is over powering, its very unintruding but absolutely beautiful.
The only down side is the price..... 330ml is going to cost around $7.50. Is it worth that much??? but it is a very good beer.
