1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle in Hobart Tasmania (it is not available to purchase on the mainland). Appears pale golden with a thin white head. Not much on the nose other than the sweet corn malts. Tastes sweet with cardboard elements and an abrupt finish. Medium-light bodied. Not much going on here - similar to Cascade Draught but with even less hop presence.
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Available only in Tasmania. Just as well really, as it was nothing terribly exciting. Straw yellow, slightly stale wet dishrag aroma, grainy palate. Their draught is sooo much better as standard lager fare.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Orangy gold with a frothy white head. Medium carbonation and body. Sweet and malty. Drinkable but nothing special.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Hard to rate this beer as it has little going for it really (other than it’s price). Not offensive in any way really just lacking in any real flavour. Alright if you’re after something cheap to stick in the fridge for a BBQ.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Oh well! Couldn’t really have expected much could I? There is little doubt I can pickmost, if not all crap Aussie macros blind and I’ll add this beer to the list. Corney malts provide a slightly stale but bearable flavour profile. Of course the mandatory high fizz levels drown out everything else. A big ’pass’.

UPDATED: JUN 9, 2004 Can only get this stuff in Tassie, and usuall only around Hobart. Unremarkable beer that is by no means offensive but by no means a taste sensation either. Was the brewery's most popular beer 10 years ago but since been well overtaken by just about everything else, including Cascade Draught, which is now the brewery's best selling beer in Tasmania.
