Not bad.. pretty standard Australian lager IMO. Not that that is a bad thing.

Nothing wrong with the beer but really nothing to report on it either. A well made straw clear lager. Did the job of quenching the thirst. Nothing off putting went down well.

very poor aroma’s disapointing for a lager. a hint of hay, clear, pale, appear. medium sweetness, lightly bitter, salty, fizzy carbination. an off-bitter finish

Clear gold pour with a thin white head. Aroma is mainly malt and tropical fruit. Taste - sweet, citrusy, with decent amount of malt and good lingering bitterness.

Pours a clear golden color the a decent head that fades to bits of lacing. Aroma of fruit, some malt sweetness and bit of grain. Taste is a bit of citrus and some malt sweetness, grain and fruit. light bitterness and a clean finish. Light body, crisp smooth and refreshing. Nice balance. easy drinker, quite enjoyable. good for a few.

Bottle. Pours a really clear golden with a small white head. Caramel malts and sweet fruits in the nose - very subtle though. Taste is really clean. Says lager but its more of an ale. Not bad

24 Aug 2012, bottle. pale yellow, clear, occasional bubbles. nose is soft, grassy hops and crisp lager malt. thin body and very crisp. faint sweet malt notes but primarily lemon rind hops. crisp, clean, and light bitter finish. great for a lager.

A-- Poured a light straw color. Half inch head with good retention and very carbonated. S-- Took a good minute or 2 for the beer to open up. Once it did I got a decent floral smell. Nothing real strong but is there. Also a bit sweet, like pineapple and mango sweetness. Once the beer opens up a bit it does go from floral to fruity. T-- Not a lot really. Fairly neutral I thought. Got a floral taste in the end but not a whole lot else. A little bit of bitterness, or grassy taste from the hops but very neutral. M-- Well carbonated and fairly lively. Much more hoppy than malty to me, even though it does have a little bit of biscut sweetness in it. Does get grassy in the end and it is a bit of a turn off to me. Would have rather have the sweetness than a bitter end to the beer. Or the other way around. D-- Not my style, to be up front. Only one is sufficient. I really liked the sweetness in the smell and wish this was more fruit forward. Would be pretty good then. Summer beer only and decent drinkability for the summer. 5.6% is not that bad at all and do not really get much of the ABV in it

This is one of my favorite beers, a bit expensive for every day drinking, but well worth the money. To me it feels like an ale but the label tells me it is a lager.

This beer offers very little aroma but over-delivers on the flavour. The taste is more complex than any other lager I’ve ever tasted
