COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A cloudy ale which is an excellent accompaniment to meat dishes such as beef, lamb and mutton.

Not good. Its aroma was very deceiving. Don't try it! Was watery and the head was white, no real appearance at all.

honey notes with flowery hop aromas. the description says cloudy but my sample was clear golden with nice head. sweet honey malt flavour with little hop character and lingering bitterness.

Highly carbonated; gives it a well formed head, which is well retained, leaving a nice lace, and a crisp mouthfeel however the flavour is really weak, which is a pity, as this could be a fairly nice drop if a bit of money was spent in its production.

Was keen to try the pale ale from the maker of my favourite Stout, but was a little disappointed. Not far off Cascade pale or something like that. ANother boring thirst quencher.

motelpogo (4543) - Plzen, CZECH REPUBLIC - OCT 10, 2003
pretty full. i can't imagine too many south australians drink this over the coopers. looked decent - pale with nice lace but was very bland with a watery finish

farmboy (218) - Barwon Heads, AUSTRALIA - OCT 6, 2003
Quite enjoyed this little number. Probably better than Coopers Pale and definitely better than Cascade Pale. Impossible to get in Victoria though.

UPDATED: FEB 19, 2007 Aussie pale ales are pale, a bad thing. Green labels on brown bottles are too. The beer itself is a bit of a surprise with some positive notes. This is in the same league as the premium I think.

pom (6) - Adelaide, AUSTRALIA - OCT 1, 2002 does not count
very good value for money here. Nice colour and aroma just needs a touch more flavour. I htink this is a very good Pale Ale. Best poured from a can into a glass.
