Straw-coloured with a large white head. Very high bead. Light honey, citrus and coriander. Taste is lolly sweetness under a fair whack of citric bitterness. Somewhere between Cooper’s red and green but a bit watery. Muddled finish has some stone fruit and some lemon dishwashing liquid. This would be OK with a seafood basket in a sunny beergarden - but what wouldn’t?

Pours orange/amber with a stunning large head.Nose shows some resinous and piney hops, with hints of citrus as well. Some crystal malt is detectable but there’s also a faint grainy note.More resinous and juicy-fruit hops show as flavours, along with mroe caramel malt, but unfortunately the grainy character is more pronounced.Carbonation is a little strong, emphasising the cheap grainy-ness.

Another one of the high points of the beers I tried during my Australian trip. This one was just the right combination of bitter and sweet--not too strong, but right in the middle. Very interesting brownish-yellow color, with a fairly thick head and a nice aroma. Variety of fruity flavor notes. A very clean and refreshing beer.
