4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A one-month shelf life? No worries there. A cloudy and tasty drop, and if youre ever in Sydney, swing by the Australian Hotel and you can get it on tap. Mother's milk!
Spanner.

slightly cloudy golden color, citrusy nose. Fresh full flavour with a lot of malt, maybe a bit too sweet. goes down easy.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Had this at the australian in sydney and found it to be a aley lager with a good amount of fruit and body. a little oversweet if anything but went down well. A good little brew.
3.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: DEC 24, 2005 Aroma is dominated by an objectionably high level of diacetyl. Appearance is very clear (despite not being filtered) and a beautiful gold colour with reasonable (not great) head retention. Good strong malt presence and mouthfeel, could do with more hops (especially bitterness). Really enjoyable beer if you block your nose!
RR: Geez, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a good Scharers. I know they’re pretty inconsistent but still. Perilously close to dropping quite a way down the scale.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Deep golden and hazy. Orangey aroma. Light bodied, but still with nice malt accent. Very flavourful and promising with balanced bitterness, but also beginning deterioration in form of acidity. I really need to seek up this brewer to get their beer fresh whenever I go down under. Thanks duff for sending this and all the other beers!!!

This can be iffy, but when on-song it is a beauty. The waft of tettnanger and hallertauer combine to give a great flowery nose. The mouthfeel is rich and has a peaches and cream character. I like the orange hue even if it is a bit cloudy when poured from the bottle. I agree with head retention comments though, in days gone by the 3 pack used to come with a flyer that advised it was best to 'bounce' the beer of the bottom of the glass to get a head.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Tartish nose. Slightly bitter body and a little tart. Some fruit, but not the most fresh tasting I thought.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy tan colour. Citrusy, flowery hop nose. Touch of yeast. Fresh tasting, light, but drinkable.
