330ml bottle into pint glass. Distant hop nose. Hazy amber beer with solid two-finger white head. Carbonation is light and fine. Oily texture, grainy taste. Finish is dry and grainy. Fairly standard thirst-quencher.

From a 330ml bottle on 6/10/2013. Pours a slightly cloudy orange golden with a small head. Has a modest aroma featuring fruit and malt. In the mouth this has a lot of typical English bitter to it (should be classed a bitter not a pale lager imo). It’s very malty (bread and toffee), with some fruity notes, and quite a dry, lingering medium bitterness. Has a medium body and carbonation. Pretty solid brew.

Bottle. Slightly hazy light amber with an inch of white head. Aroma has biscuits, pine, honey and some butterscotch. Quite substantial in the mouth with a round fruitiness that’s unusual in an Australian lager. There’s a real house malt profile that works well for the ales but is less obviously suited here and is a little reminiscent of Butter Menthols. Piney bitterness. Robust and refreshing.

Pours gold with a small head leaving nice lacing.Nose shows a fair bit of light malt with honey and cookie-dough characters, but is somewhat faint.Similarly malty flavours but with more of a bready character. Is it just me or are all of Grand Ridge’s beers intensely malty? Not that I’m complaining... Finishes with a well balanced bitterness but is in no way dry.Moderate body and carbonation - nice, even if not to style.
