375ml bottle. Clear, amber colour with small to average, fluffy, slowly diminishing, moderately lacing, white head. Minimally toasty and grainy, malty and minimally soapy as well as piney, hoppy aroma, hints of cereals, forest honey, whiffs of pine needles. Taste is mildly bitter, slightly piney and minimally soapy hoppy, sweet-ish, minimally grainy and toasty, malty basis, hints of cereals, forest honey.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Clean, balanced - OK.

Best by 03/04/19.

Pours a clear gold with an inch of foam after things settle down. Leaves some lacing.

Smells of grain, sweet malt, light bitterness. I'm not picking up the usual...corn.

Taste is grainy but not corny, sweet malt mixed with a bit of bitterness. It's not overly flavourful but what's there agrees with me.

Usual mouthfeel for the style.

Definitely a cut above the other Aussie Lagers I've tried recently.

Deep golden. Bubbly head. Sweetish and a touch of biscuity malts. Clean, simple malty taste with relatively low bitterness.

750ml bottle into schooner glass. Distant hop nose. Pale yellow beer with diminishing head. High carbonation. Really zingy on the tongue. Some fruity hop notes, a mild malt finish & that’s about it. Inoffensive.

In this part of Australia, pale lagers seem to rule. Can’t tell one from the other, nondescript and bland.
