Pours nearly clear amber with a short, off-white head. Scent is fruit, malt. Taste is slightly bready, overripe sweet fruit. Grassy hop bitter. Fairly decent.

From a 330ml bottle on 3/1/2010. A rather lacklustre pale ale. No distinct nose, not particularly hoppy, and a bit too sweet. Not terrible but rather pedestrian.

Golden pour, nice head but little persistence.Aroma is delicate, some passionfruit and lemon from the nelson sauvin, with a fair bit of cereal malt. Definately lacking, was expecting more from the description of hops on the label.Flavours are similarly boring, a hint of lemon and some sweet hops mixes with slightly metallic malt.Too much carbonation.

Bottle. This was surprisingly dull. Good, clean colours. Not an enormous amount of nose. Very clean but simple falvours. Too little hops.

330 ml. bottle. LIght aromas of malt and hop. Light, bright copper color with very little head. Near medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Malt and hop, though neither in great amount. More of an ESB than a pale. Could be a golden. The icy cold advice must be unique to down under. Finishes rather clean; arguably refreshing. Probably a session kind of thing; might improve with quantity.

bottle - Pours clear gold with a thin white head. It has a light grainy malt aroma. The flavor is cereal malts and some mild hops. The label says pale ale but other than a bit more hops, it doesn’t taste that much different than a macro lager. It’s a little better, but while refreshing it sure is bland. I kind of figured there wasn’t much hope for this one. Not many craft brewers would advise you that their beer is best served "icy cold".

Draught. Looks decent: amber with nice head. Very little aroma, somewhat malty but not very appealing or interesting. Palate was acceptable, light with moderate carbonation. Flavour is not great but not unpleasant. For a beer on tap in Australia, this rates quite highly, but in the grand scheme of things, that doesn’t count for a lot. More specifically it has more flavour than most Aussie beers, but that flavour is pretty dull being essentially just some grainy matiness. I choose it over most other draught offerings and I just had six of them so I can’t say it’s bad, but if I had the choice there are so many beers I would have rather been drinking.

Forgive me if comments are too similar to other Oz pale ales, but god. Boring, thin and lacking bitterness.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours yellow with bright white head. The aroma is sweet sweet pale maltiness and mild earthy, floral hops and hay. The flavor is similar with sweet sweet maltiness cut by some mild floral hops. OK beer for a hot weather experience.
