Apr 30, 2008 Bottle. This is a distinctive beer to say the least, at least in the Australian context. Very dry, with floral nose and quite tart in the mouth. I surprised some friends with this and it got mixed reviews. Not sure it’s something I’ll drink in large quantities, but a refreshing lager to the say the least.

Apr 29, 2008 Pours a very light blonde colour, very little lacing and a poor head. Sour fruity smell, almost like a white wine. Floral taste, very hoppy and vinous, with fruit notes of grape and lemon rind. Dry bitter finish. A unique brew but not one I especially enjoyed.

Jan 9, 2008 Reminded me of Moa in distinctiveness and its connection to the wine world. The nose is oaky, caramel and has almost a chardonny vinousness to it. The body is oddly more like a fine pilsner lagered in a cab sav wine barrell with fruit complexity. Smooth mouth. Very interesting and definetely not soon forgetable. A definete must try.

Jan 6, 2008 Has an almost greenish hue, the way some sake does. Very pale and hazy but no head. Big grapefruit juice nose with grapes and peaches. Hints at tartness. Crazy vinous character...slightly sour with lots of grapefruit and peach. This hop is cool shit, and it definitely grows on me over the course of the beer. Very distinctive brew.
