COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A traditional full flavoured draught beer, master brewed using a blend of crystal malts and a unique brewing method, which impart a rich, malty character to balance the hop bitterness.

Draught on tap, Adelaide. For a megaswill lager this has to be better than most. Not offensive in any way, well balanced, right mouthfeel, good colour. Has a big, tight frothy head that holds well with good lacing till the end. Light malt and bitterness, easy drinking with just a bit more body that the the other megaswills.

Pyobon (728) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - FEB 4, 2013
(Draught) Clear pale amber, weak white head. Caramel malt aroma with slight hint of hops. Light body, medium carbonation. Light sweetish caramel malt with a hint of citrus and a hint of bitterness. For mainstream pub beer it is drinkable.

Bottle. Smells like a standard premium lager. Taste is slight hippiness with actually a nice caramel like malty finish. One of the nicer lagers I've had. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Not as bitter as some competing draughts in the same price range, a refreshing beer worthy of consideration.

KeefOz (472) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - AUG 15, 2012
On tap at Red Lion Hotel, Moorooka, Brisbane. Poured a clear golden amber colour with a thin white bubble head that diminished quickly and laced slightly. Medium to high carbonation - lots of bubble trails. Aroma-less. Tasted slightly bitter. Light body. Long very slight bitter but smooth finish. Although aroma, tastes and palate comparable with other large commercial brewery lagers, this is a main-stream beer I quite like.

Bottle- A very ordinary beer. Nothing special. But still drinkable and refreshing.

larsga (5325) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 23, 2012
Small offwhite head. Clear amber body with carbonation. Caramelly papery aroma with floral notes. Dry-sweetish resiny caramelly taste with papery notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry, and faintly acidic, fruity caramelly aftertaste with papery notes. Decent, but could use less acidity and paper. (0.375l bottle, Taste, Hang Hao, Hong Kong.)

An average australian beer. Goes down easy enough while watching the sport but nothing to write home about.
