345ml bottle into glass. Skunky nose with honey background. Amber beer with small white head. Taste of minerals, vegetables. Aftertaste is cooked vegetables with honey. Lingering, not good. It’s like a standard aussie macrolager with a tiny touch of honey.

From a 345ml bottle on 15/11/2014. Pours a clear light golden with a small to medium head. Smells like a bad macro pale lager, with lots of stale grain and corn. The flavour isn’t a whole lot better, featuring a fair bit of sweet malt, just a hint of fruit, followed by the barest hop presence at the end. Has a thinnish body and medium carbonation. I was puzzled to see another APA from Matilda Bay, given they already have the more than passable Fat Yak and the quite good Alpha in the line up. After downing this, I’m even more perplexed, as this is a complete waste of time. This is an insipid, remarkably bland beer and the worst offering from MB so far (perhaps the CUB influence?). Sadly, this is a very long way from being the duck’s nuts.
