Draught at the brewery tap in Brisbane. After a tour of the brewery, never has so much technology been used to produce such a bland lager! It pours light yellow with a small white head. Aroma and flavour is syrupy sweet malt with nothing else. Remarkably characterless with no finish at all. Interesting fact - after fermentation, the excess yeast is sold to Kraft to help make Vegemite!

Well, on the positive side, I guess it’s better than one might expected for a Queensland lager. And yeah, I agree with the "High drinkability in warm climates" part of the commercial description, at least if it’s hot and muggy outside (it is), you’ve been traveling all day (I have), and it’s served ice cold (it was). Again on the positive side, it was better than whatever pale lager I drank out of someone else’s pitcher for the rest of night. On the negative side....well, nevermind. What did you expect of a Queensland lager?

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle. High fluffy and long lasting white head. Clear golden body. Sweet barley malt flavor with straw and grassy notes. A bit sharp and yet pleasant hops bitterness dominates the flavor. Palate is a bit thin with low carbonation and a short aftertaste.

May 18, 2009 375ml bottle. Amber in colour with a thin wispy head that goes quickly. Reasonably well carbonated. Looks average once the head disappears. Aroma of corn and hops that doesn’t add anything to the experience.Good body and texture. Bitter taste with a thin aftertaste and no distinctive flavours that jump out. Brings back memories of youth.

Feb 21, 2009 19/02 0.33 l bottle Doggythedog brought from Graz, thanks for sharing! Italian version. This poured golden body with no head. Very weak nose, sugary malty with some corn. Boring corny flavor...watery, slightly sweet to sourish, but don’t exactly know how to describe this boredom. Should I talk about the finish? OK, some cardboard added to all of that. Just hope Australian version is better. This is drinkable only it reminds water...a bit spoiled though.
