Poured a nice clear honey red with little to no head.
The scent is all corn and hops.
Has an interesting taste and body, in addition to the hops and caramel malts there’s something else there... It almost tastes like brandy. Very interesting taste.
Very good beer, I was pleasantly surprised by it. Wouldn’t be afraid to drink it again.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Deep amber pour with a thick off white head. Aroma has some caramel and a bit of yeast to it. Flavor has a good caramel base and a strange other taste, apparently thats wattle seed. Something different which I always like to find, but I probably wouldnt buy this again.

Jul 10, 2008 Pours a kind of sad looking watery brown with an off white head and a bit of carbonation. Smell is a little nutty with some decent malt characteristics. I must not like wattle seeds though because the flavor started as interesting and then quickly degraded into undrinkable as the beer warmed. This was a sink pour unfortunately.

Jul 4, 2008 12 oz bottle from aracauna - thanks Jacob! Pretty beer - clear, coppery amber pour with a beige head. Very sweet malty nose, nutty and sugary. Sweet caramel and brown sugar flavors, some light berry and an herbal notes. Medium body that actually comes off seeming thicker than it is. Very drinkable.

Jul 3, 2008 Poured a nice amber color with a small white head. The head disappeared quickly and left no lacing. Nice beer that had hints of chocolate and carmel. Can be a bit pricey. Not a bad drink though. This is definately a different beer then I have tasted.

Jul 1, 2008 Deep copper-amber. Medium body; moderate carbonation. Rich and sweet caramel flavor. Malts also carried notes of toast and rye-like grains. Lesser notes of chocolate and coffee. Herbal, flowery hops were mellow yet pleasant. Like others, I’ve never heard of wattle seed before ... but I think I like it.
