COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A well balanced and flavourful beer with a satisfying soft bitterness, pleasant malty character and excellent creamy head.

12.5 oz. (370 ml) can that I came across in my basement storage area this morning while cleaning up. The temperature stays fairly consistent down here so the beer has not degraded all that badly, age notwithstanding. Pours a clear orange gold with a thin-moderate white head that quickly recedes to a scummy film and leaves no lace. The aroma is sherry along with some stale malt. The flavor is watery malt with some weak sherry notes. Thin, watery body. Flusheroo...

Bronze golden body, short tight beaded head. Watery malty flavour, just what I was expecting.

Really, to think this kind of filth can be legal is mind-boggling. I can’t find anything redeeming to say about it.

Light Brown colouring with a thick head. Very bitter, chemically aftertaste. Chemical type aroma. Not recommended.

Only slightly better than its stablemate...not worthy of gold however...maybe the "Adelaide Water Encouragement Award" I must say that it was quite malty.

Its OK but you can still be happy it is an export. Let us share our abundant beer wealth with the rest of the world

I found myself enjoying this more than I thought. And then I realised why - I was drunk. Tried it again when I was sober, and promised myself never again

Not to bad for a cheap tap brew, can’t say I’d go out of my way for it.
