A colorful deep Ruby Amber appearance. Aromas of Pine and Grapefruit overlay a malt background. On the palate full bodied malty flavors with a tight and bitter finish.

Keg at Munich Brauhaus, Melbourne. Cheaper than the imported lagers! Amber looking but somewhat lacking in oomph in terms of flavour and bitterness.

Sampled from the tap at 4 Pines Manly. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma combines earthy grain and pine with a hint of biscuit underlying. Flavor has bread and biscuit with a bit of earthy pine.

Bottled. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of spices, flowers, malt, and caramrl. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, malt, caramel, and flowers, leading to a bitter finish
