Bottle. Deep brown, a cm+ of off white head. Spicy strong fruit bread aroma with singed caramel. Not all that sweet and just medium bodied with dried fruit, light dough, lots of yeasty spices, moderate bitterness. Some red wine and bracken too. Excellent.

Can. Gold, fluffy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, crackers, pine, light tropical notes. So it tastes. The fruity hops are nice but partially obscure the transparent lager palate - but not so much as other "Cali Pils"s I have tried. Pretty good, if a bit strong for what it offers.

Pours pale yellow with a small head.
Nose shows dill, lemon, chilli and cucumber.
Flavours include more dill, pickle, a reasonable acidity and a bit of a chilli kick.

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Clear yellow golden color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are a little sourish, a bit odd. Hmm okay.

(Can) Pours cloudy amber with big off white head. Lovely fruity aroma. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Great fruity taste too. Plenty of caramel malt and a nice hoppy bitter finish. Very good.

(Can) Pours clear deep amber with big pale amber head. Nice citrus aroma with notes of toffee. Medium body with good carbonation. Taste is rather thin but it is 2.2% there’s some nice toffee malt in the mid palate, some clear and crisp hoppy bitterness in the finish and some citrus notes at the start. Good low alcohol beer.
