A small fizzy head that diminishes quickly. Dim yellow body, clear with some playful carbonation bubbling up. No much happening on the nose, light hops, some pine perhaps. The taste starts out slightly bitter and then strengthens upon the finish. Light on the palate, fizzy but a bit of a bitter metallic finish. If youre a bitter fan maybe this is for you. It is bitter yes, but fails to spice it up. A bit boring.

Bottle: Pale yellow, Frothy white head. Fresch hoppy nose. Malty grain straw hops in taste. Long bitter hoppy finish.

Golden with a small white head. Aroma has malt and a touch of spicy hops. Malty sweet flavour with a sugary touch. The finish has a little hop bitterness

375 ml bottle. Pale golden colour. Clear. Medium-sized fine-laced white head. Neutral aroma with no noticeable hop aroma, only a hint of malts. Dusty aroma. Low carbonation level, but still feels a little fizzy. Thin bodied, but without being too dry. Nicely balanced, but lacks anything interesting, almost being entirely pointless. Light hop bitterness in the finish.

Tasted 31/08/2009 at Commercial Hotel in Biggenden. Paler than I remember from years ago. Yellow gold and just like all the other pale yellow macro lagers in Australia - though maybe a little worse...
