Murky headless brown stuff, less carbonation than tap water, foul taste like a dirty, wet rag. Perhaps this bottle was a dud, but looking at duffs rating, that’s a 50/50 chance you’ve got, which just isn’t good enough. Stupid bottle.

Stumbled on this back in 2000, probably about the time they closed. (Rating from notes.) Poured an amber colour with ruby tints and a decent head. Rich nose - some toffee, coffee grounds and peppery alcohol. Surprisingly forceful for its abv. Toasted malt characters, caramel and a little sherry. Jesus, this is a queer fish. Unusually complex for a pale lager. Pity they didn’t sort out the bottling because they were on to something. (Bottle)

looks good. the sweetness is not adequately counterbalanced by the vague roasted malts. still, pretty good for something from south australia

Has a dumb screwtop that makes you feel like your about to open a bottle coke or something. I don’t think this beer was fresh, if it was they would have a lot of work to do, because it wasn’t to pleasant, syrup, not much head, and sticky.
