2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Australia) Pale Yellow color with Sm-white Head. Smooth with sweet Malt taste!!! The Palate was watery.. Not the best from Down Under, But not bad.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle that states it was brewed in Australia. Aromas of light fruit and pale malt. Darkish gold color with a decent white head. It is very fruity [for a lager] with not a great deal of bitter. Must be floral hop. One heck of a nice lager that finishes mildly fruity and slightly bitter. It’s even somewhat astringent. A lager that is tastier than some ales.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can’t work out the provenance of this one. Label states that it is brewed in Germany on behalf of the ‘Australian Brewing Corporation’. Anyway , fairly standard interpretation of a lager. Not too bad. Excellent lift off the nose for the style; albeit the aromas are fairly mundane malt and adjuncts, with some sweetness. Dumb but has a certain appeal. Line and length in the mouth; industrial malt action, a sliver of corny sweetness, and a cut of bitterness on the finish. I hope it’s cheap as it might provide a halfway decent alternative to local industrial beers.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pale yellow color, aroma and flavor of ainly maly, with a hint of hops, better than American Macro, but not good
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a clear orange into the lager glass with a good deal of head and sticky lacing. The scent was mild hops and floral scents. A thin palate and rather unexciting beer.
1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
bottle. tastes like a lager with honey flavor lightly added. not too bad. It does taste and smell somewhat high quality.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: AUG 27, 2007 I am not much of a lager fan but my one Aussie friend had been wanting me to try this one and bought me a couple of bottles for Christmas. Sampled from a rather cool looking 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brownish-gold color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was sweet, tangy and a bit yeasty. The flavor was sweet, tangy and lightly fruity with a yeasty undertone. There was a tangy finish. A nice example of a sweeter lager but still not my style.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
bottle - Pours dark yellow with a thin white head. It has a light malt aroma and a sweet, malt flavor. There’s little hops to be had in this lightly carbonated, smooth drinking beer. It was as horrible as I thought it might be.
1.1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: MAR 4, 2007 Pretty cool bottle. Purchased at JR’s beer in rochy, PA. Cost was 42 cents per bottle. I was cruizen the import section and saw this. $10/case. I never had it and it said from australia. Cheapest import on the floor. Not quite pale yellow but it is nothing more than a typical american beer. Has a slight hard industrial liqour smell and flavor as if the alky was added after brewing. Not too bitter, but it does have a flavor that is different than the rest and it lingers on the finish. I think Fosters is much cleaner in taste. This brew is not too good a representative of the economy lager style.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sweet malty aroma. Sweet malty and slightly spicy flavor. Appearance was the typical pale yellow. What I would call a hot weather beer. Not bad.
