Schooner on tap at Springfield Tavern, QLD. Pours a crystal clear amber with thin white head. Laces OK. Light carbonation. Nose of tin and rotten egg. Touch of light sherbet, tiny touch of bitterness then more lingering egg/sewer. Served very cold, this would be impossible to drink otherwise.

355ml bottle from National Brewery Centre in Burton - Flat yellow body, gentle fizz. XXXX was once a staple on the bars of the UK, haven't seen it on these shores for yonks, not surprising the bad rap it used to get. Nothing really in this to change my opinion from the kegmare it used to be. Dingo, koala, wallaby, possum, wombat, kangaroo, prawn, barbie, and g'day from Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee.

On tap at a Hobart Hurricane match. Pours a clear yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sweet grains, cookie and a bit of a rice note underlying. Flavor is also sweet with grains, straw, cookie and a bit of a corn finish.

Best by August 20th 2019. Can.
Looks gold enough to me. Pretty fluffy head of foam, lacing is good.
Simple nose of corny grain, some but not enough of that Aussie malt, mild touch of hops.
No surprises in the taste. Light flavours, it is 3.5%abv, of corn/grain, tiny malt sweetness, low presence of hoppy bitterness. Served cold cuz I reckoned that would put it at its optimum.
Pretty decent mouthfeel considering.
Nice to try, once.

Bottle. Bland with some vague fruit. Very watery. Slightly soapy and metallic finish. No bitterness. Not that sweet. Not that anything really.

Can, v cold, tropical island with cans sitting in ice alongside bugs, crabs and prawns. And it works fine. Orange, very pale with a white head. Vaguely corny aroma with some apple and grass. Kind of watery. Clean, vague fruit. Fuzziness aids bitterness at the end. Better from can than glass.
