Bottle listed as a 3.5% session. Golden and hazy with a light, tangy fruit smell. Pleasant enough flavour. Lightly hopped with some sweet fruit and something tangy, lemon or lime maybe. Slightly bittersweet finish. Pretty bland but it's alright.

Pours a fairly clear golden with a smallish head which disappears quickly. The aroma is barely perceptible - just a hint of sweet malt and fruit. The flavour features a sweet cereal-like malt and some indistinct, muted fruit sweetness. Bugger all bitterness. Lightish bodied with average carbonation. Not sure what they were going for with this, but it presents as a bad shandy.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, snd a bit of hops, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle from Coles Liqourland, Melbourne. Poured a slightly hazy straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is stale malt, mineral, dry earthy hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light, grainy malt, dry cardboard, watery woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Not great and it actually tastes mass produced.

(Bottle from BWS Broadbeach) Pours clear medium gold with a small white head and no lace. Aroma is light malty notes with a touch of sweetness and grain, and some vague grassy hop character. Flavour is basically somewhat sweet pale/pils malt, a hint of fruit, almost adjunct type graininess and a little grassy herbal bitterness. Rather watery. Lightish body, above average carb. Basically like a macro lager thing, nothing redeeming about it. Calling it a pale ale and charging over $4 for it is a joke. Bleh.

If I walk into a pub with macros on tap I’m happy enough if I can at least get a Fat Yak, which is a reasonable pale ale. So this morning I found myself in the only bottle shop around with limited options and thought I’d try its cousin. It’s got macro lager written all over it. The overly sweet malt flavour pervades the aroma and the taste, leaving only a cardboard aftertaste. I bought six of these. I have five left in the fridge. I would have had more fun incinerating a twenty dollar note than handing it over to the bottle o. Somebody help me. Will sell them for $2. Actually will give them away to anyone wiling to take them off my hands.
