COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A European style lager brewed from the finest quality pilsner malts. This beer is fermented at a lower temperature than most Australian lagers, and employs an extended maturation period. These combine together with a mixture of kettle and late hopping to yield a crisp pale lager

Kurtos (35) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - DEC 22, 2012
Bottle. Pours a straw like yellow colour with minimal head. Aroma- Aroma mainly of sweet corn. Taste-Nothing to special here, but compared to other lagers it’s quite decent, i can taste mainly corn with some banana flavours as well, followed by some slight bitterness. Palate- This beer is pleasing on the Palate. Overall- This is a decent lager but an average beer, good to buy when it’s on special.

Bygers (279) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 15, 2012
Bottle 0,33l. Pours yellow straw color. Almost no head and a small amount of carbonation. Not much aroma, but some citrus hops. Taste of malts, hops and hints of citrus. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

DSG (3927) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - DEC 12, 2012
Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Clear pale golden. Aroma of hay, cereals and light metallic hops notes. Sweetish flavor, grainy and a bit stale. Light-bodied.

This is possibly my highest rated Australian Lager. It doesn’t mean that it’s actually good though. It’s a lager, it’s not unique. It has a somewhat sulfur aroma that is played off by the medicinal hop aromas. Kinda green and kinda mean. Tastes like grainy malt, some corn perhaps with a crispness. Finishes decently clean. There’s really no distinct hop flavors. No OFF-flavors.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Pours pale and sparkly golden. Warm piss and grain aroma, bland and mildly bitter taste, light body, short finish.

maxwelldeux (2223) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - NOV 4, 2012
Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a fairly small head. Smells a little skunky, like a lot of cheap lagers. Light and somewhat skunky taste. Not much to be happy about.

Green bottle.... Why? Pours a very skunked clear beer with a small head. Very thin bodied, even for a lager. Not all that good if you ask me.
