(Bottle) Pours hazy golden amber with small loose white head. Pleasant aroma - citrus, pine, hints of grass, biscuits and cardboard. Light body with rather fizzy carbonation. Taste is light on malt and heavy on hops giving some imbalance. Starts with tart citrus notes with the slightest biscuity malt, becomes a little watery in the mid-palate and then some good hoppy bitterness develops in the finish. Pleasant enough but rather unbalanced. Seems to have had a name change to Mt. Macedon Pale Ale.

Another solid Aussie APA. Love the unfiltered honey colour. Medium hops, citrus, maybe grapefruit. Definitely try again.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is malty and bitter hoppy, The flavour is medium bitter, malty with some slightly floral hoppy notes on the palate. A super pale ale it must be said and a very appropriate session beer.

From a 330ml bottle on 6/2/2010. The nose is floral and fruity. The flavour is subtle but quite complex - stone fruits, honey and herbs set of against a mild bitterness. Quite a nice drop and one which would be well suited to a session.
