a real dog... think less belgian and more broadmeadows. is the name any reference to the amount of scrotums dipped in the beer before they bottled it?

Watery and bland. Should not be promoted as Belgian. These guys are usually good so this is a big disappointment.

Clear pale golden body with poor head. Grain and cardboard in the taste. Don’t bother.

standard. not a lot of flavour, however very clean and crisp. better than a punch in the mouth i suppose

Decent carbonation pale gold pour aroma caramel fruit hop some grain flavour very bland watery not much taste at all some malt and not much bitter very weak aftertaste a flop

Bottle. Pours a very very pale wheat with a large foamy white head. Falls away quickly leaving very minimal head. Very weak grainy aromas with not much else. Taste is not great and pretty much follows the aromas. Just taste like a fairly typical aussie lager. Mouthfeel is very watery. Tipped most of this out. Not nice.

330ml bottle. Super pale and looks a lot like water when poured, except for the deep white head. Grainy dishwater aroma is reflected in the taste and this is a very average effort and I am surprised that Baron’s Brewing would put their name to this as I am a fan of all of their other beers.

Bottle. Straw colour with loose head. Grassy vegetable hop aroma. Thin watery palate with little carbonation. Sour thin taste with vegetable aftertaste. Overall, nasty and disappointing.

A real balls up of a beer. Thin, really grassy and about as close as beer gets to water. C’mon guys less money spent on advertising and a bit more time on your beers will do you a world of difference.

Hard to believe i’m to first to rate this. 330ml bottle from a local bottle o in Newcastle. Pale straw body, clear, small white foam. Doughy pale/pilsner malt aroma, bit of yeasty/metallic skunk. Not much in the way of hops. Reasonably high carbonation, lean body, drying soapy texture. Quite clean bready malt profile, some floral hop flavour detectable. Drying, slightly metallic finish, moderate bitterness. Simple pale lager, nothing too offensive but not alot to it.
