(Bottle) Slightly hazy amber with reasonable off-white head. Lovely aroma of pine and citrus. Medium body with plenty of lively carbonation. Clean refreshing foretaste with those citrus and pine notes from the aroma. This quickly develops into a pleasant bitter with hints of biscuity malt. The hoppy bitterness is distinct but not aggressive and lasts a long time. Very pleasant.

Bottle, 11C. Amber with a near white head. Aroma of toffee, peach, biscuit, kumquats, pine needles. Fairly light bodied, creamy texture. Sweet with more peach, less caramel and biscuit and a lot more citrus than suggested by the aroma. Still pretty sweet at the end and the bitterness doesn’t cut through quite enough for me. Maybe a little colder would have been better. Not bad at all.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. Fresh floral hoppy/caramel nose. Amber beer with solid foamy white head. Light carbonation. Light spritzy mouthfeel. Finish is watery with touches of floral hops, lemon and toffee. Excellent, especially for 3.4%.

Tap at the Jetty Southbank, Brisbane. Pours clear golden. Hints of hops in the aroma, clearly more than I expected from the looks of it. The taste contains everything you would want from a light beer, a bit of hops and bitterness here, a bit of malts and sweetness there. A good summer beer.
