27.08.2017, 0,375l bottle @ home, courtesy of Cunningham:
Big bubbly longlasting head. Aroma is harsh floral, weeds, old sour wash cloth, boiled vegetables, raw cabbage, minerals, paper, bark, sour grass. Taste is harsh metallic, weeds, metal tank, paper, bark, old hay, minerals, sour grass, old wash cloth. Medium bitterness, very watery and metallic mouthfeel. What a waste of resources...

Clear golden color with a white head. Decent lacing. Moderate intensity in the aroma. But do NOT put your nose close to the bottle when you open it. Vegetables…. Medium (-) body and an average carbonation level. Decent balanced sweetness versus bitterness. Pale malt, some vegetables and herbal hoppy flavor. Not a decent easy drinkable beer.

From old tasting notes. Bright honey gold color. Thick bubbly white head. Zesty citrus malt nose. Light dry malty flavor. Spritzy citrus fruit hop finish.

330ml bottle into glass. Nose is......Mango! No surprise there. Clear amber beer with thin white head. Light carbonation. Wow! The mango flavour is all over this. Not really integrated, starts to take on durian characteristics as well. Weird but weird, I mean really weird. Umami notes mixed with sewer finish BUT I drank it real quick. A cult beer by accident.

I ordered a sunday roast and they gave me 4 of those fuckers. Oh Well Better rate them. Golden, white head. No aroma. Hayish malt, medium light body, light sticky on the palate, a hint cheap hops in the finish. Uninspired macro swill.

330ml clear bottle (Roma) into schooner glass. Slight sweet/skunk nose. Crystal clear amber beer with thin white head which leaves lacing. High carbonation. Sharp mineral water mouthfeel. Finish is a tiny taste of bubblegum and a touch of metal. Quite dry for a Castlemaine product. Designed to be drunk ice cold and quickly.
