Tap at the Catfish, Melbourne. Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is skunky malt, floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a dry cardboard malt, floral hop bitter palate. Dry and floral all round.

Bottle. Brownish pale amber with a white head. Weedy aroma with vague citrus, boiled lollies - a bit rough and speaks to my prejudices about this obsolete technique. But it’s smoother in taste with fairly clean hay and grass and decent herbal and citrusy bitterness that gives bite without being harsh at the end. Not really my sort of thing, but refreshing enough.
