6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6
33cl bottle. A golden lager with a small amount of head and some bubbles. The nose has oatmeal with just the slightest hint of lemon grass on the end. The taste has more oatmeal, some hay and some freshly cut grass notes. The palate is fairly substantial for this style being medium bodied and medium structured. As expected and hoped for, there is a dry refreshing finish. Overall, a decent lager to have one or several of.

Note - I suspect that this beer has been relaunched. The ABV is 4.4% and the packaging is different. I also suspect that the brewer may have changed. I believe that this is a brand owned by a supermarket that was brewed for them by Boags (who seemd to go to great lengths to disgusie this factor - and for good reason). The wording suggests that it is brewed on the mainland with some Tasmanian ingredients. Maybe this makes it a new beer? I emailed an enquiry, but in the absence of a response I am posting my review: Bottle. Poured clear gold with white head. Harsh aroma with some grassy hops. Thin and fizzy. Flavour is thin, grainy and harsh with some metallic bitterness. Overall, its not bland, but its not very nice.

Bottle at The Rake thanks to Duff. Pale clear gold lasting thin white head. Cereal and corn aroma. Its ok some nasty adjunct but not too offensive.

From a 375ml bottle on 28/11/2010. Has a very slight fruity aroma, and a touch more flavour than a most Aussie macro pales, with lingering apple bitterness. Okay for a pale lager, but in the general scheme of things, uninspiring.

Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a pale yellow color with a large white head. The aroma was light sweet tangy malts . The flavor was tangy and rather sweet but otherwise a fairly typical industrial brew. Medium length tangy sweet finish. Inoffensive and fairly quaffable.

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear yellow golden with a medium frothy white head that lasts awhile leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a skunky corn malt and grain. Thin mouthfeel with a light malt with grain and corn. Not much going on with this pale lager from Boag.
