Pours dark amber with a large fading head.

Can. Clear amber with a white head that never quite disappears. 3+ Aroma is nutty, earthy and grassy with biscuit underneath. Nice, but you wonder how it will hang together. But then there's a real clean lager straightjacket of a palate to keep a centre and a firmly bitter dry finish. The grass seeds are not totally unlike wattle seed but have a narrower and more refined effect on the beer. Good. As usual with SG, you can understand why they made this beer to show these ingredients. Now the book has a beer tie-in, surely there should also be a pie.

Can. Slightly hazy amber. I was hoping for some revelation here of a new grain source that would blow my mind. It wasn't to be. There's a slight nuttiness, but otherwise a very standard Vienna lager.
