Flat pale lager with a malty dry aroma and a quite strongly dry flavour. Overall a poorish lager.

330ml bottle. This pours very pale amber with a thin layer of sudsy looking white foam. Looks quite dreadful. The aroma is almost non existent except for some hay like aromas. He flavour fares no better as it is thin in the mouth and leaves nothing on the palate. Not sure if the plastic bottle had any impact on this beer but it is quite horrid.

Big sudsy mess of white atop a bright, medium gold body with irregular, soda-pop carbonation. Drabs a thick film of white down the glass as it empties. Very grainy, rich and sweet malt nose with hints of chaff and dried mown grass. Quite sweet again in the mouth, backbone of toasted malts, a light coloured nutty praline note comes in there as is an odd hint of bacon and light, zingy herbs. Quite light on, oily in mouthfeel with light carbonation. Finishes slightly soapy and very short with a dash of shy hoping. Not much bitterness but at least it has hops, suppose. Overall, an average offering from a non-existent brewery. (33cL, 4.7% ABV, BB 23/05/12, Dan Murphy’s Bunbury)

maybe it was just the name but it tasted a little metallic. lifeless.

golden colour, few head, paperboard-like aroma, tart and oily with an unpleasant dry finish - it shows everything you can do wrong with a lager ...
