The all classy PET bottle. Feel a little guilty in even buying it, so have a soft spot for these no brand beers.
Unexcited release once the cap came off; almost still in the glass. Medium gold and mostly bright with fine floaties caught in suspension. Clean, spiced hop and gentle toasted malt nose. Quite gritty, husky, dry and barnyard-like with a late burnt note coming through. Sweet, starchy start, pasty in feel with a light body and soft carbonation. Drawn lemon zest, light flowery hops, dried green herbs and mild spice. Finish has a shy crispness, is uneventful, drabby, heavy in the stomach. Cereal grain flavour dominates, tastes of breakfast but is watery. Not much to it. Got through it alright, survived! (33cL, BB 23/05/12, Dan Murphy’s Currambine)

330ml bottle. Looks a bit better that the lager with a light gold colour and decent sized head of pure white foam. Lots of grain in the aroma And there is some sweetness in the flavour which is not that bad

Bottle 330ml from Dan Murphy’s. Uninteresting pale lager. Light aroma of leaves. Taste is sweet and short-lived. Yellow, with a thin head.

330ml brown PET bottle. Very pale orange with a white head. Faint aroma of grain, grass, herbs. Taste is slightly sweet and grainy with modest bitterness. Some herbal and lemon notes. Not very good but not dire.
