330ml bottle into glass. Faint hop nose, a touch vegetal. Sparkling golden beer with frothy lasting head. A few bubbles. Spritzy mouthfeel, fairly straightforward taste. Aspirin bitter finish with a touch of lemon. Not one I’d repeat.

Cheers Jack. Clear amber beer, tidy pale cream coloured head. Light palate, semi dry and a little crisp. Light lagerish malt - a bit papery. Super mild citrus. Semi dry finish. Just about passes muster.

Bottle, thanks to Jackl. It pours clear amber with a small off-white head. The nose is earth, light floral, malty, umami aspect and smoked ham. The taste is earth, toast, brown bread, decent bitterness, some underlying sweetness, metal and faint spice with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and average carbonation. So-so at best.

A pleasant aroma of butter, peaches, malt and hints of citrus got me excited about this beer, only to let me down in the tasting. The palate is a little weak with very little of the malt body promised by the nose. There’s a moderate amount of grapefruit that gives this beer a refreshing Summer taste but it’s ultimately a little disappointing.

From a 330ml bottle on 7/11/2010. Has a moderate grassy citrus fruit aroma. Taste wise, it’s relatively bland, with some sweet malt up front, a bit of citrus fruit, and a moderate hop finish. I’m a little disappointed, as I recall trying this some time ago and thinking it was quite good. Just a shade more interesting than a typical premium lager. Rating 2.4. Re-rate on 17/11/2012. Tasted significantly better this time round, with much more pronounced fruit and malt notes.

Bottle. Clear amber with little head. Aroma is subtle - floral hops and malt. Medium body and carbonation. Forestaste is subtle - malt with a perhaps fruity tag and decent floral hops. There is a nice bitter finish with a slight metallic edge to it.

Thin mouth with barley noticeable hops. Like too many Australian pale ales, just had no backbone or bitterness.
