330ml bottle(with its own brown paper bag). Poured into lager glass. Smells of malt and pepper. Beautiful Golden beer with small solid white head and many tiny bubbles. Good body, finish is malt, some grain, peppery hops and late fruity caramel. Quite subtle and pleasant, a superior lager.

Disappointed after the wrap from Fothers. Didn’t really get much cascade hops, skimping boys? Some malt coming through.

(Bottle) Clear golden with small short-lived head. Aroma is grassy, slightly metallic with hints of candy. Light body with good amount if fine carbonation. Taste is simple and basic, but within that constraint quite reasonable. There’s a nice balance of some light malt sweetness and some light tartness, with some reasonable hoppy bitterness to finish. Simple, refreshing and easily drinkable. [The paper bag was beige / tan with an interesting logo printed in dense black ink. The aroma was papery. The body was very substantial, it was thick paper with a rough to fluffy surface. I omitted to taste the bag, so cannot comment on the flavour other than surmising it would be similar to the aroma. The bag was well matched to the bottle, rendering it essentially useless for repurposing, however, in its context, it rates very highly on the hedonic scale.]

The aroma is overwhelmingly of grain and banana, with a little honey and butter. In the mouth, there’s a very mild hop bitterness, a tiny bit of malt late and that’s about it. Not a complex beer by any means but would be OK by the dozen on a warm summer’s night if not for the $4 price tag - I reckon I got charged $1.50 for the paper bag.

From a 330ml bottle on 8/3/2012. Pours a clear golden yellow with no head. Has a very slight grainy aroma with a bit of bready malt. In the mouth, it’s very sweet, with more bready malt and a hint of banana. There’s just the barest evidence of hops. Okay for a pale lager but distinctly unexciting. Like the artwork on the bottle though.

Pours gold with a rapidly fading head.Nose shows bready malt and faint spicy hops. A bit plain.More bready malt as a flavour, also a grainy character. Finishes with a mild, off-putting bitterness.Carbonation is pretty full-on, body feels watery.
