Bottle. The aroma is somewhat floral. It was smooth with a carbonation bite. Not much flavor but nothing to turn it away. I found this in a grocery store in Hong Kong. I thought, "wow, a beer from Tasmania!"

Bottle. Straw colour, low head low condition. Slight grass aromas slight fruity flavours. Generic.

Don’t like it. The most overhyped and overrated of the aussie ’premium’ beers.

Pale medium amber clear under a medium size, large bubbled white lasting head. Faint floral nectar and bitter hops aroma. Light fruity, mild bitter and medium light carbonated sweet start. Fairy bland middle with soft corn flavours through into the aftertaste. Not really my cup of tea but it not that bad for this style of beer.

UPDATED: DEC 11, 2006 Bottle. Clean and crisp, with some slight metallic edges, thin, watery body. Pretty good as far as pale lagers go, but still nothing much going on.

A half step above your typical mass market lager.

Another watery, boring American Standard. Slight notes of skunk are the only thing I could decipher. Not as premium as is claimed.

a bit watery, but aren’t all aussie ’premium’ beers? could do with more bitterness to finish but not too bad if you’re after a crisp easy to drink lager

Nice hint of honey in the first taste but after that, it’s just a refreshing light drink, then again so is water. But this’ll get you drunk.

Crisp and dry - reminiscent of a Japanese beer. I bought it just because I thought it’d be fun to drink a Tasmanian beer. An OK American Stardard.
