3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20UPDATED: FEB 22, 2012 Possibly the best Australian-brewed beer available. Dark gold in colour, with a reasonable head. Mild hops, some quite fruity yeast characteristics and a lingering finish. Probably the best readily available commercial beer in Australia.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
The sparkler is an Aussie classic, being one of the few Australian beers that led the way before beer became trendy and the microbreweries hit the market. Yeasty bread and very mellow aromas are backed up with a similar subtle flavour profile. Nice long, medium bitter finish. It may not have the flavours of the 'modern' craft beers, but it's still a good drop when it's put into the context of Australian beer history.

Smells malty, toast and hay. Clear golden color with a foamy white head. Not particularly flavorful but it is cool and refreshing, nice on a hot day!

It is a good beer. A little bit sparkling at the aftertaste, mixed with fruity taste.

1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Slight wheat-beer-like notes in the aroma, yeast, tiny bit of malt, no hops.
Taste and mouthfeel are a real letdown. No better than the macro slosh you can get at the discount supermarket.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A mild tasting ale with hints of orange and flowers. A little dry. Overall quite subtle so good for a few.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Really solid ale, especially if you’re lucky enough to get the bottom of the barrel stuff - makes it even cloudier. Lovely aromas, and rich full taste - treat with respect!
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle shared with McTapps. Easy going and very average Lager. Nearly tasteless and definitely nothing special.
