Can, 4.6%. Clear gold with a white head. Clean malty aroma with light bread, a slight caramel touch, light spices. Sweet and pretty clean but bland. Enough bitterness but it's a bit flabby and never dries out. Had this pre RateBeer. Saw it have its tyres pumped up on Crafty Pint and thought to revisit. Still too sweet but well enough made.

375ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear gold with a tall white head. Aroma is grain, light hoppiness. Taste is light to medium sweet, grainy malt. Pretty hood, bit too sweet. A shame they added cane sugar.

Best by 03/04/19.
Pours a clear gold with an inch of foam after things settle down. Leaves some lacing.
Smells of grain, sweet malt, light bitterness. I'm not picking up the usual...corn.
Taste is grainy but not corny, sweet malt mixed with a bit of bitterness. It's not overly flavourful but what's there agrees with me.
Usual mouthfeel for the style.
Definitely a cut above the other Aussie Lagers I've tried recently.

Can. Not exactly overbearing. A little grainy with some caramel. Really watery. Very low bitterness. Clean and wet.

330ml bottle into shaker. Typical euro-lager nose, a bit grassy, a bit sour. Golden amber beer with a thin sticky white head. Some lacing. Very lightly carbonated. Smooth texture, a little fruity at first. Finish has some malt, sour grain and tin. Easy to drink and (slightly) more interesting than your usual Aussie macros.

On tap at Upper Deck at Launceston Airport. Pours orange. Caramel, sherbet, orange, really sharp acidity and a long sweaty finish. Super carbonated body. Slightly upsetting to see an 'english' style ale that's just a bad amber lager.
