(Can) Clear gold with ok white head. Aroma is ok, slightly sweet slightly grassy hops. Light body, well carbonated. Taste is light malt with some ok bitterness in end. Overall quite drinkable but not great.

Bottle from Continental Food Store, Wakefield. Pale golden, not much of a head. Decent tasting lager with lots of tasty grainy malt and a pilsner character.

One of the better widely available (in the UK) Australian beers, but considering the others that not saying much.

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.
