Bottle, during a holiday in Australia. Backlog rating from my bottle collection and historic scoring. Source not recorded. Tasting notes not kept, just rating. Not fab but one of the better lower abv beers I had over there.

Pours a clear straw gold colour with a thin near white head. Aroma is biscuity malt and floral hops. Moderately sweet biscuit malt taste with some of the floral hop flavours from the Yakima. Disappointing finish, not much there.

Bottle from the Robert Gillow, Lancaster. Brownish amber, clear with a spotty bit of a head. Resinous and citrus peel aroma. Tastes sweet with a plastic note. Finish is more bitter. Fairly artificial all things considered, big resinous notes but not much else.

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.

From old tasting notes. Hazy, pale gold color. Huge, creamy white head.ninteresting, fruity malt aroma. Tart, wheat malt palate is reminiscent of apples. Crisp, dry finish with a hint of hoppiness that lingers through to aftertaste. Very refreshing and flavorful.m

Tap at the Birmingham Hotel, Melbourne. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a yeast, light fruity, grassy hop bitter palate. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. A little light and lacking flavour but what flavour it had was decent. Don’t understand the earlier super low ratings.
