Bottle. Gold, low carbonation, low head. Pleasant enough, a tad sulphur bittering hops take us alone a medium light straw like body to a quick finish with a light grainy and grassy aftertaste. In Queensland spring temperatures I really cannot fault this for being a easy quaffable brew, commercial deScription checks out.

(Can) Clear golden yellow with big white head. Aroma has light malt and hints of grassy hops. Light bodied and fizzy. A tart foretaste has some sugary hints to balance, which quickly collapsed to a watery mid-palate and finish. Bad but drinkable if desperate. (Tasted on airplane - lower pressure may affect taste and perception of carbonation)

On tap at XXXX Alehouse, Brisbane on 9th September 2015. Hazy pale gold with decaying loose creamy off-white foam and full lacing. Mild, fruity hop aroma. Richly fruity and citric in-mouth. Hoppy, fruity finish. Light in mouthfeel and body. Impressed - exceeded my expectations.

On tap at XXXX Alehouse, Brisbane on 9th September 2015. Clear gold with off white head and lacing. Lightly hoppy aroma. Grassy and herby in-mouth by small measure with cooked veg. Lemon citrus kick and finish. Light-bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Was pleasantly surprised, although what beer isn’t at its best at the brewhouse?

375ml bottle into schooner glass. Distant cooked vegetable nose, a very slight citric note. Hazy pale yellow beer with film of white suds. Light carbonation. Light mineral water mouthfeel. Finish is tinny, more cooked vegetables, water and a little touch of lemon and malt. Not as horrible as XXXX Gold but still horrible.

375ml screw-top bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear amber, no real head. Light grain aromas. Watery taste, slight astringency on the finish. Pretty much as expected.
