375ml bottle. Almost opaque, mahogany colour with weak ruby shimmer and small to average, frothy, slowly diminishing, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Sweet-ish, slightly toasty and nutty, dark malty aroma, hints of toffee, toasted nuts, coffee grounds. Taste is roasty, slightly nutty, minimally spicy, dark malty, minimally caramel malty with low residual sweetness, slightly diluted hints of burnt caramel, toffee, coffee grounds, a weak touch of liquorice and sugar cane, some roasty and hoppy bitteress.
Watery texture, rather dry palate, medium, slightly foamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Not overly intense but sporting a handful of subtleties; not oll of them super tasty, though - quite nice overall.

345ml bottle from Liquorland, Hurstville. Clear very pale yellow colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of green apple, some core. Taste is sweetish, appley, green apple, some core, white wine notes, sugary, with light acidity. Light bodied, high carbonation, sweet appley finish. OK, still quite sweet for a low sugar cider.

2pac day. A cold stubby, bb 7/25. More amber than gold with a decent white head that lasts a while. weedy aroma with mean crackery malt. Thin with sugary sweetness and modest but harsh weedy bitterness. Worse than I remembered and pretty bad for an Australian macro lager.

330ml bottle purchased to tick off New South Wales as a region but not expecting much from this lager. Pours dark clear gold, small white head, decent retention. Malty sweet aroma, not much hops detectable. Sweetened malts with a apple fruity yeast note, very slight grassy hops. There is a decent lager low-calorie malt base here but very little hop profile to elevate it even for the style. Below average but a touch underrated on here I feel.
