(notes from Nov 17, 2023 because RB wouldn't log in) Poured from the tap. Clear amber gold with small white head. Nice citrusy hops, mild malt, nice balance, surprisingly enjoyable.

On tap. Pours a copper color with moderate head. Aromas of toasted malts and mineral water. Flavors of bitter earthy hops and metallic toasted malts. The only fresh hops I get are bittering hops…

Can found in Victoria. Clear copper body, okay foam, soft malt on the nose with hops that brings out notes of floor cleaner. Flavour is heavy hops with a chewy biscuit back end, then forward end, actually it just falls all over the place and the hops disappear. So the highlighted fresh hops take a hike and a substandard ESB takes centre stage and you wish the opening act was still playing.
