Beer - #403 - Eagle vs Dog - Episode 1 Hitch-Hikers Guide Pilsner

Never been able to do things in the right order and so finally I managed to puy the first chapter of 3 beers - Eagle vs Dog - Episode 1 Hitch-Hikers Guide Pilsner. I've previously drunk the Episode 2 and more recently the Episode 3 offerings

So for Golden Eagle Brewery brewed at Raindogs Brewing Co: this is brewed in the style that is  Pilsener and they're in Christchurch, New Zealand

This is a 500ml bottle of beer that is 2.7 standard rink units, meaning 5.5% ABV, and it's around 150 calories.

Eagle vs Dog - Episode 1 Hitch-Hikers Guide PilsnerBorn from a melding of cultures whilst on the run from the Vogon fleet. Utilising brewers born under the Long White Cloud and St George’s Cross. Incorporating German and Canterbury malts, devilishly Tasmanian hops, shaken not stirred Christchurch artesian water and a very Bohemian Czech yeast. A truly complex Pilsner guaranteed to take your taste buds on a trippy voyage to the end of the universe. Don’t forget your towel!  

Nice aroma on opening that is yeast and sweet.

Pour is very pale, almost transparent but is a soft golden yellow, and there is little by way of head, and what there is leaves.  Colour is nice and even.
