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

Tasmanian beer. Again the Taswegians make a great beer. Hoppy, sweet and malty. Nice carbonation. Fantastic beer for seafood as it compliments the fare.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2003 One of the top 3 beers I have ever encountered. The flavor and aroma are outstanding, with a great aftertaste. A beer that lives up to expectations, and keeps you going back to the fridge for more.

A fantastic Tassy beer. I'm not sure why I like it, I just do. Perhaps its that clean Tasmanian water that brings out the flavour.

Is there a better lager in Australia? No! All the crispness, light fruit hints and refreshment you need. Boag's. Beauty. Spanner.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2003 A nice lager? more like pilsener, it is hoppy and bitter and a very nice drop. The aroma is great and it goes down good nice and cold. cheers

Wonderfully light beer, mild aroma, rolls around your tongue unfortunately sometimes leaving a bit of an oily feeling in your mouth. Beautiful, easy to drink beer.

local is far better than exported version... and to that, probably the best of the commonly stocked Australian beers. Light/golden colour, moderate head. Good mix of clean wheat, some hops, and a little sweet mouthful. Frest and pure. Texture not too heavy and yet good lasting taste. Quality.
