375ml bottle. Opalescent, orange, dark golden to amber colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, grainy, malty aroma, hints of corn, a touch of honey covered cereals. Taste is mildly bitter, soapy hoppy, grainy malty basis, hints of corn, a touch of honey covered cereals; lingering, soapy finish.
Watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, scattered, prickly carbonation.
Anaemic and monotonous, boring - absolutely forgettable.

On keg at MCG. Pours pale golden. Hardly any aroma, taste of watery light biscuit malts. Incredibly insipid

750ml bottle into schooner glass. Nose is mostly tin and earth. Clear amber beer with thin film of suds on top. Steady carbonation. Lightly spritzy mineral water taste. Finish is more tin and a hint of cooked vegetables. There’s a touch of fruity sherbet lurking in the background but really this is industrial macro beer. Not a beer you would knowingly choose.

Can, 0.375l. Clear golden color with small frothy white head and lively visible carbonation. Aroma is grassy, grainy and vegetably. Taste starts with moderate sweet malty and papery with grassy sour following, slightly metallic notes, plain mouthfeel and light bitter finish. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Good enough only when you are in midlife crisis and in the middle of nowhere...

Pours gold/amber with a large fading head.Nose shows dirty cardboardy malt with a faint hint of floral hops hiding underneath.Flavours have similar malt followed by a sharp but short bitterness.Carbonation is very high.I gotta say, this did go down well in the Queensland summer humid heat.

Not particularly exciting, but again you could do worse. Pours golden, hoppy head. Moderately bitter, with some fruity notes. Again, this is a typical mass-produced beer, akin to an American Budweiser or but it isn’t completely worthless.
