375ml can from Liquorland, Roselands. As "Albo Pale Ale" 4.8%. Hazed yellow gold colour, white foam head and aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, hops. Taste is malty, grainy, with juicy fruit, citrus, and hop bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, drying hoppy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

(Can) Pours clear golden with small loose white head. Pleasant clean aroma of citrus and pine. Light body with good carbonation. Simple refreshing taste with citrus at the start, very light biscuit and corn malt and no bitterness. Easy drinking.

From a 375ml can on 28/4/2022. Thought this might have been brewed as an election gimmick, but seems it's actually been around for years, though my can has a picture of Albo and says 'Pale Ale'. Definitely not a red or amber ale! Pours an ultra clear light golden with a medium head that disappears quickly. Little in the way of aroma. Tastes sweet and does have a corn element, very lager like in many respect but with of a sharp lemony finish at the back. Light bodied with average carbonation. Would make an okay lawnmower beer I guess.

On tap at Willie the Boatman, pours a clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of toasted malt and a little corn. Flavour is very light, with notes of corn and biscuity cereal malt. Fresh and vibrant, surprisingly refreshing. Quite good.

Light gold, thin head. Corn and diacetyl nose, taste is a bit grainy, still a touch of butter. Not great. Decent body tho.

640ml bottle into 250ml glass. Not sure what to expect from a Corn Ale. Nose is clean, fresh, distant creamed corn. Hazy golden beer with solid white head. Many fine bubbles ascending. Spritzy mouthfeel, medium body. Finish is hoppy, citric, even a touch of passionfruit. Right at the very end that distant corn reappears. Easy drinking. Great beer, will be even better on a Sydney summer evening.
