On tap @CBC13. Cloudy yellow with white head. Aroma of herbs, grain, malt, citrus and grass hops. Taste is citrusy, herbal with malt, grain, grapefriuit and yeast.

Appearance: Slightly hazy yellow with a thick white head. Lots of carbonation bubbles, but the head doesn’t lasts for much time, and not much lacing down the glass. Aroma: A nice collection of hops, sweet malt, tropical fruit and slight citrus. Taste: Crisp light malt with some bitterness. A little grassy, and quite ’clean’ compared to what the aroma hints at. Mouthfeel: Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Fairly dry to the finish, with a very slight astringency. Overall: A very easy to drink beer, but nothing special. IMHO, it could probably do with either a tad more flavour hops or a bit more sweetness to balance the astringency.

Fra fat på CBC mai-13: en lett og floral øl som sikkert er en super forfriskning i varmen Down Under. Her gjør den meg ingen tjenester. Vanskelig å hevde seg med 4,7% i et landskap av heavy duty stuff.

Tap @ CBC, 2013. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Hay and grass. Smooth and crisp.

Appears yellow and with a fluffy white head and plenty of sparkle. The aroma is of sunflowers, golden grains and some lemon zest - light and enticing. My impression of the flavour is that it is light and sessionable, so it does what it sets out to do. It is spritzy and floral, light and fluffy. Not a lot for the likers of heavy beers (myself included) but serves its purpose.

330mL bottle. Pours hazy pale gold with a small white head. Aromas of citrus, passionfruit, honey, some esters, a little malt and yeast. The aroma promised so much but there’s not a great deal going on in the flavour; fairly subdued, a little wheat and yeast, some esters, low bitterness and sweetness. Light body, soft carbonation and a short finish.

A nice beer for a hot summers day. Poured a little too light and clear for me which raised concerns about the flavours which had light citrus undertones.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and moderate hoppy aroma. Flowery citrus notes. Moderate bitter powerfull lime flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate. Nice.
