Aug 18, 2007 Bottle. Pretty much how I would have expected a filtered wheat beer to taste if I hadn’t already tasted some great ones (eg Schöfferhofer Kristallweizen). Utterly soulless, with nary a whiff of wheatiness left to be found.

Feb 24, 2007 bottled. deadly poor version of a deadly bland style. pale golden, raw sugar and detergent aroma, some harsh and rancid flavours with no nice ones to compensate

Feb 1, 2007 Bottle -- Pours with no head and soft drink-like bubbles. Aroma is not pleasant: bready, lemony and... medicinal. No lacing. Flavour is heavy and genuinely unpleasant. Didn’t finish the bottle. I suspect my bottle has gone off... Will try again next time I’m in Rutherglen (or not).

Jan 30, 2007 19 Jul 2006 - (Victorian Microbrewer’s Showcase) - Sweet ripe stewed fruit with some burnt weird aroma. Clear light amber colour, low head and poor suds lacing. Simple sweet lolly flavours and a hint of wheat flavour. Thin, sweet uninteresting low hop finish.

Jul 30, 2006 Odd and unsatisfying wheat beer. Failed to raise much of a head. Some caramel and lemons in the aroma. Peculiar flavour mix - sherbet lemons, toffee, honey. By no means undrinkable. Can’t say this brewery impresses. (330ml botle from the Australian Hotel, Sydney)

Mar 4, 2006 I could not dinstinguish this from the pale ale. Another flat watery bland soft drink with a bit of corn grain thrown in. No head or flavour was identifiable. Rutherglen should stick to wine.

Feb 11, 2006 Bottled. Clear golden. brief head. Bready malt aroma. Medium sweet with fairly light body and clean mouthfeel. Very low bitterness. A very straight forward thirst quencher type of beer.

Jan 25, 2006 After being disappointed with the lager I didn’t have high hopes for this one, well it was justified! Dull lemon taste which matches the appearance as well as the aroma. Like bridge I also get some sherbet but no crispness, very thin body and a very average finish.
