DylansDad (157) - NEW ZEALAND - MAR 30, 2013
Has a (to me) very typical English macro ale smoothness, the sweet malts are so slick that it is hard for my interest to get a toe hold. This type of beer is so good at slickly sliding down your gullet unnoticed except for the initial sweetness and a final unflavoured bitterness. Drinkable, but not something I’ll think about tomorrow.

KeefOz (470) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - MAR 16, 2013
Initially poured a full glass (10cm+) of off-white head that quickly dissipated to a few bubbles. No lacing. Low carbonation. Weak aroma of malt and floral hops. Taste dominated by hops. Light body. Long hops bitterness finish. OK but not outstanding.

Amber pour with decent white head. Aroma is grain,caramel and a little skunky. Taste is burnt sugar, some bitterness, a bit of marmalade.
