Bottle 750ml from Purvis. Nice yeasty amber. Aromas of apple, with hints of caramel and bread. Taste is sweet and sour, with average duration. Palate is velvety, and medium bodied. Amber, with a frothy head.

A bit ho hum as well. Essentially a amber ale but very line and length. Clean and reliable but just a bit boring. Very similar to James Squire with its mildly cloying and sweet finish.

Dredd (591) - Bentleigh, AUSTRALIA - MAY 1, 2010
Beer pours ruby brown with lingering tan head. Aroma is light with with a hint of spice coming through. Initial upfront flavour is clean with a mouth filling creamy texture, some breadiness and hints of stone fruits that finishes with a touch of sourness on the back palate and finishes with some slight grainy chocolate that leaves a long finish. Hides the 4.8% remarkably well, very enjoyable. That said at $25 a bottle is also a bit on the pricey side.
