Pours golden amber with a huge head fed by lively streams of carbonation.Aroma is light, comprised mostly of spicy, grassy hops (presumably noble, lots of saaz perhaps?) with clean sweet malt in the background. The label just says "lager" but this is definitely Bohemian pilsner territory.Flavours include more grassy, spicy and lemon hops with sweet grainy malt taking over later and leading to a mild metallic bitterness.Nice light body, high carbonation.

Bottle. Slightly hazy gold, white head. Very high bead. Nose has cereal malt, meadows, citrus and nectarines. Quite thick malt for the style with some citric bitterness - but rather less than suggested by the nose. Short, slightly sour dry finish. I suppose this an attempt to make an unmistakably identifiable Australia lager that’s not crap - and it’s very successful.

From a 330ml bottle on 15/1/2010. This is a bit of a confusing beer. A cloudy lager with oodles of yeast sediment, and a quite fruity aroma. Flavour wise, there’s just something missing. You don’t get too much more than a moderate lemony bitterness at the end. Overall, a fairly average experience.
