Not the most aromatic golden ale. A clear and pale one covered by almost no head. Soft bready malts with the characteristic grainy bottom that are complemented by limey and bright, but light hops. Swift sweeping bitterness follows. The ensemble is quite clean, but never takes a single risk and remains deceptively thin-bodied.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Pale golden colour with frothy white head. Fruity nose with citrus, lemon, apricots and floral hops. Fruity taste with notes of citrus, lemon peel and grassy, slightly earthy, hops in the finish. Easy to drink, very sessionable.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, Sweden) Shady straw yellow color, creamy white head. Mellow hoppy herbal and apricot scent. Very nice bitter citrus and floral hoppy taste. Medium mouthfeel, nice high bitterenss.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
This pale golden, crystal clear ale must surely be named after the famous Australian Ratebeerian. It has an orangey nose, is sweet, fruity and well rounded with soft mouthfeel and notes of vanilla and strawberries. It's an easy drinking ale, well suited for summer weather and has average bitterness and a fair amount of character.
