Golden-amber colour. Faint pale malts and very light limey hop notes. Half an ale. I mean, I was trying to write good notes and this is all I found. Yikes.

Cask handpull at Spinnaker’s, Victoria. Gold colour, lasting beige head. Biscuity yeasty aroma. Quite light in body, reminds me of Caledonian Deuchars IPA. Its got subtle citrus hop. Really easy drinking session bitter. Lovely creaminess, slight earthiness.

Totally clear pale yellow hue, seriously limited white head. Mostly fresh smelling, hoppy beer that is very light, if not quite appearing under 4%, but feels like a very good summer concept that is unfortunately touched with light turnipy DMS off notes tat disturb the otherwise serious grapefruity, sweaty hops (Columbus?). Lean mouth presence, hoppy, softly carbonated and easy drinking. Despite its wateriness, it shows a lot of confidence in its hop display, mostly bright, grapefruity and almost grapey. Fruity session ale.

on hand pump-pours a white head with disappearing bubbles and yellow color. Aroma is faint pine. Taste is thin, malt, slight hops, light fruit/diacytl? Or yeast.

Cask at the brewery
Clear gold color. Husky grain malt nose, light and fresh bananas as well. Pale, watery, simple flavor, but with a good hefty body for a cask ale.

Pale golden, slightly cloudy appearance with a thick cloudy white head. Malty and yeasty aroma, slight nuttiness. Body is nice and creamy, yeasty, chewy, nutty flavour. Faint hoppiness. Not bad, but would have benefitted from a touch more hoppiness.

Very good cask. That they had two casks of the three on was a plus. At the brewpub in Victoria. Lacey, very drinkable. Light mouthfeel, a natural carbonation messaging the soft parts. Served at the right temperature.

Slight honeyish malt nose. Hazy golden, creamy head. Bisquit notes - well rounded. slight nutty aftertaste hides lightness well without hop overdose.
