Bottle shared with friends. Poured a crystal clear amber with a thin white head and lots of carbonation. The aroma is stale malt leading to a weak bitter, weak hoppy flavour and a watery palate. Pretty awful really. If I picked up a bottle in the Sahara after not drinking for a week I’d now think twice about opening it!

Aroma is fairly malty with lots of graininess. Fairly clean with only light esters and diacetyl. Faint aroma of corn but not DMS corn. A hint of sulfur. Pours a fairly clear yellow gold with a thin white head thy quickly recedes but lingers on the edges. No legs and only light lacing. Flavor has lots of sweetness to it up front. Some light graininess as well as quite a bit of corn. There is a light to medium low fruitiness. Faint sulfur in the finish along with some bitterness. No hop flavor really. Bitterness lingers a bit with some graininess. Mouthfeel is low to medium low with medium carbonation. Astringency is low but present. A bit slick on the tongue but finishes dry and crisp. Overall the beer is meh. It's fairly fresh with a good by date 5 months from now but it's really nothing special. I expect a light lager to be cleaner than this and the bitterness is a bit sharp. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

(Draught) Clear pale amber, weak white head. Caramel malt aroma with slight hint of hops. Light body, medium carbonation. Light sweetish caramel malt with a hint of citrus and a hint of bitterness. For mainstream pub beer it is drinkable.

Bottled at SYD. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of brewing cereal, and hay, leading to a dry finish. Boring.
