Schooner on tap at Springfield Tavern. Pale translucent green/grey. A few bubbles cling. Zero head, pleasant sweet ginger nose. Zingy in the mouth, very sweet, easy drinking. Slight cardboard finish, a little bit of ginger burn. Drinkable mid-strength alternative but an absolute rip off ($13).

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.
