Nearly left Australiana without a taste of this lager- for shame. It slaked my thirst in the first leg of our 26 hour journey home. Clean flavor with light grain and a bit of cleansing hops. A bit if a bitter bite in the finish. Nothing much here but it’s a step above most similar brews.

375ml bottle from Appellation Wines. Cheers Ash! Pours clear pale gold, big white head. Aromas of grass and light lemon. Taste has a light malt sweetness, more light lemon. Medium body, slightly astringent finish. OK.

Another lager that pours a clear golden color and a couple of fingers of white head quickly settling down. Malty and grainy aroma is followed by light taste, sweet start and hardly any bitterness in the taste. Not bad, but nothing special.

Can, 0.375l. Clear deep golden color with medium frothy white head, fair lacing and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of grains, yeast, grassy hops and some citrus notes. Taste starts with moderate sweet caramel malt, follows refreshing grassy and mild fruity with moderate bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Slightly better than other Aussie lagers...

Bottle, 0.375l. Clear golden color with medium frothy white head and sparkling appearance. Aroma is grainy, grassy, vegetably and bready. Taste starts with light sweet and sour grainy malt, follows by mild citric and yeasty acidity, crisp and dry mouthfeel and light bitter finish. Light body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Classic lager taste without any premium features...

A very odd spiced flavor with notes of lemon and a watery aftertaste. Color is amber with a white head
