330ml bottle. Clear, orange golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grainy, minimally bready, pale malty aroma, sweet-ish hints of corn, cereals, a touch of brown bread crust, weak hoppy overtones. Taste is moderately bitter, minimally fruity, hoppy and sweet-ish, minimally grainy, pale malty, hints of corn, a touch of orchard fruit.
Watery texture, smooth, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, dense, prickly carbonation.
Clean, fairly refreshing - definitely not the worst Pale Lager in the world.

Can from Beers of Europe. Clear gold with small white top, decent retention. Aroma of grainy malts, corn and grassy hops. Very bland tasting - chewy basic malts, faint grassy hops with some bitterness. Bit of cardboard in aftertaste. Body and fizz are ok for the style. Poor but I've had a lot worse.
Thanks Arvid S.

Keg at the Melbourne Public, Melbourne. A tinny lager with metallic finish. Standard carbonation and look. Logo a bit too much like ballast point.

On keg at the MCG, Melbourne. Now this isn’t great, not much aroma or flavour. But in comparison to Carlton Mid, it wins hands down! Inoffensive. Pale straw in colour. Light grains, easy drinking.
