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.

Can of Aussie piss delivered to US of A from Australiashire by fletch. Thanks! It took me three months to drink this after delivery, so it's safe to say it wasn't super fresh. That being said it's not a good beer. Cardboard, some slight diacetyl, light corn. Easy to chug, low boost. Not the best flavour.

Bottle in the Qantas lounge, Melbourne Airport. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is skunky dry cardboard lager malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a malt, dry woody, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty awful.

330ml can. Drank from can. Little syrupy, little acidity, mostly tasted like nothing. Perfectly serviceable, especially on the boat back from a day snorkelling.
