750ml bottle into schooner glass. Slight metallic nose. Pours golden with solid white head. Some lacing. Bitter taste, medium body. Aftertaste is short with a very slight umami/hop note. A little bit better than the usual aussie macros. Much better on tap. Hard to find outside Sydney.

A Sydney icon. A real session beer. More palatable than other macrobrews. Nice head, good lacing. If you are in Sydney try it on tap. Quite difficult to find anywhere else in NSW.

Bottle. Clear gold no head. Subtle aroma with a hint of hops. Medium body and carbonation. Taste is grain with some citrus and an OK bitter finish. Overall this is a reasonable beer, but certainly not great.

Clear golden coloured body with a light orange tint and a frothy, soapy white head. Aroma of pale malt, sweet fruits, oranges and a light cardboardy type scent. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour, not harsh nor bitter, but showing some light sweetness. Aftertaste shows more sweetness, a touch of malt and a very dry, subtle watery taste. Definitely not a bitter - but this has been listed many times before. I sampled this 375 mL can, purchased from a Duty Free store in Sydney Airport on the way out of town on 27-July-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 10-February-2009.

(Can 37,5 cl) Clear, deep golden with a rough, white head leaving some laces. Aroma of brewing cereal. Thin and watery body with accents of brewing cereal and perhaps a tiny bit of malt. Basically no bitterness. Bitter? No. Beer? Hardly. 240108

Draught in Jindabyne. Clear golden, small head. Cellary, ashy Pride of Ringwood aroma. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. Plenty of boiled vegetables and some sharp resiny bitterness is it’s most prominent features. Apart from being wet it’s pretty void of anything I like in beers.

Bottled. Golden colour, small head. Sweaty cellar aroma. Sweet and light bodied with clean, hard mouthfeel. Fizzy. Low bitterness. (It’s no coincidence that the flavour is described with 0 characters...)
