Pours dark amber with a large fading head.
Nose shows bready and biscuity malt along with some spicy, herbal and earthy hops.
Flavours include more spicy hops along with heavy biscuity and bready malt as well as a bit of caramel.

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.
