330ml bottle. Opalescent, orange golden colour with small to average, frothy, slowly diminishing, moderately lasting, white head. Weak, minimally artificial, citrusy fruity aroma, slightly disguised, minimally grainy, pale malty background, hints of lime, lime juice. Taste is minimally grainy and strawy, pale malty with low residual sweetness and slightly citrusy fruity, hints of lime, lime juice, minimally soapy, hoppy overtones; dry, minimally tart-ish, zesty finish.
Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft in the finish quite dry, almost a tad astringent palate, very fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation.
Not too artificial, fairly refreshing - acceptable.

02.07.2016, It is a typical macrobrewery. It is a nice one when you go out and the heat is high, refreshing, malt, corn, watery, few hop. It was one typical beer going out in Brisbane in 2004 or 2005, at this thime I didn't have an idea of the craft beer because at this time I was not so curious, drinkable one, acceptable.

Clear gold, brief white head which doesn't last. Aroma of sweet malts, touch of caramel. Taste is the same, a hint of toast in the mild bitter finish. I don't mind this actually, its basic but perfectly pleasant.
