375ml can from a Mosman liquor store. Poured a clear golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus hops. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light crisp, somewhat watery, light citrus, hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

(Bottle) Clear pale gold. Modest malt aroma. Light body with modest carbonation. Taste is rather one-dimensional - a slightly bready malt. Pleasant easy drinking, but not interesting.

I thought I’d already rated this… picked up at the brewery last August when visiting Currumbin.
Balter black lager 5.4%
Great roasty dark lager with chocolate bun malt notes. I felt it was a dry light easy drinking well-balanced schwarzbier.

Yesterday, the Y Market Mexican lager had sold out but thankfully I had this in my fridge.
Balter Cerveza
Mexican Lager 4%
On sale for 4$ at Dan Murphy’s in Brisbane. Nice clear gold with thick white foam and a crackery sweet aroma. Light bodied, crisp and clean. The taste adds a dash of lemon.
Solid summer crusher.

What's with all these Japanese-influenced black lagers in Australia all of a sudden? Has there been an evening class? Can. Almost black, light tan head that's soon a coat. Aroma of coffee, powdery roast, bread. Quite sweet with dark roasted coffee to balance. Modest bitterness. OK, perhaps a little meek.
