2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draft at the brewpub, July 2006. According to the beer list, this is an Australian style lager - I had no idea that there existed a style called Australian Lager - so this is a first for me...
A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with slight notes of spices and fruit. The flavor is sweet malty, but also with a spicy note from the hops - a bit like the lite beers a la BMC - which I don’t like. And no wonder the body is thin.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty grainy aroma with weak hoppy hints. Fruity malty grainy flavor. Has a sweetish malty fruity grainy finish.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Malty, funky vanillaish flavor. A little grassy on the aroma. Very standard pale ale looking.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden. Taste is bitter. Nothing really stands out in this brew. But I do give them props for trying an Australian style beer.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
a touch darker than the kolsch... pale golden with a tiny bit of sluggish lacing.
sweet grainy aroma with hints of diacetyl.
the palate is a touch sweet with some grassiness, grain and a slightly bittered finish. diacetyl doesn’t really show up here oddly.
light bodied, crisp, meh. 5/3/5/3/9/2.5
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: FEB 10, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Australian-style Lager. Mildly sweet, with a touch of nuttiness. Nothing extraordinary, relatively balanced. A little sourness in the finish. Decent session beer, nothing more.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On Tap, light golden in color, no head and only a little lacing,, clean, and crisp but very light.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden yellow color with no head. Minimal aroma of some hops and malts. Tastes of malts with some hops. Nothing impressive, but not revolting either.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap @ the Brewpub-Moderate golden color w/a slight white head. Had a floral nose to it. Another pretty average brew at this brewpub, some hops, some grain, and again, some interest, but not much. Thin watery mouthfeel w/a weak, stale finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark gold, creamy white head. Light buttery flroal nose up front that fades into a dreid fruit and earth finish. Similar flavor with just a touch of peppery hops, and hints of earthy nutiness added to the mix. Nicely balanced as it seem pretty much like a light pils of sorts. Light bodied, light carbonation, soft bitter finish. Might be good with some hot wings, but truly not my thing...
