3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
650mL bottle. Pours clear amber with a sparse and short-lived head. Toasty and malty aroma, a little grass and wood, and a hint of metal. More of the same in the flavour, though slightly watery. Mild sweetness, low bitterness. Light-Medium body, soft carbonation, fairly short finish.

Clear deep brown pour topped hy a thin off-white head. On the nose I get crusty bread, roasted malt and some floral notes. On tasting, there’s dark caramel, stewed plums, brown bread and some dark toast. Maybe a hint of chocolate in the background. Smooth, with a nice clean finish. A pretty good Aussie version of the style.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle- Pours a dark clear amber color with a decent head thqat fades to web like lacing. Aroma of citrus, roasted malt and some caramel. That of roasted malt with some caramel sweetness. mild bitterness and a clean finish. FFairly medium body, smooth with a nice texture. Enjoyable beer for the style. nothing fancy just a nice drinkable beer. Label caught my eye.

Malts on the nose including caramel. Taste is pretty average however its very drinkable. Not a huge fan of this style of beer so I may be a little biased in rating this a little low. All up its very drinkable but doesn’t make you wanting more unfortunately.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: NOV 14, 2012 On tap at Brisbane Brewhouse. A clear brown copper colour with a thin white head. Moderate carbonation. Aroma of malt and slight roasted grain. Taste of sweet malts followed by minor citrus/lemon and mild hops. Medium body. Finished short and a bit bland. A different taste - can’t quite define it. 15/11/2012 - bottled version much the same.

Bottle- A very nice version of an english bitter. A well balanced beer. A pleasing beer that keeps you interested.

Bottle. Amber with slight carbonation. fairly standard bitter, with a touch of caramel, cereal malts, grassy hops and moderately bitter finish. Ok.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Just on cool and into a straightwall. Houdini disappearing head wanes back to a ring of white on the meniscus. Sparse for carbonation, minute in size amid its bright, tawny copper body. Sweet, biscuity toffee and dusty malt and hop nose, a little dank and musty. Malt driven, toast, pale wood and nutty sweet in the mouth, light and just a little thin. A hint of cardboard midpalate the only notable flavour flaw. A touch of orange marmalade in back, becomes dusty and rusty on the swallow before dropping off soft, short, with a delicate, subdued bitterness. Overall it’s a little too attenuated - I would love to see more body in it - But still an easy drinking number. (33cL, BB15/08/12, Dan Murphy’s Currambine)
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from my beuatiful wife. Pours a weird brown copper colour with very small off white coloured head. Not the best looking beer. Aromas show plenty of mal though not overly sweet. Slight nuttiness with not much else going on. Flavours once again show off the malt though this is also a little odd. Not overly sweet. Mininmal hops on the palate. A little odd for my tastes.
