330ml bottle at the Everest Indian Restaurant, Fairfield, Melbourne (fully licensed) where Sachin Tendulkar once dined. I’m sure I was sitting in his seat! Poured a clear golden colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is malt, yeasty, gluey, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, crisp, slightly watery, light citrus, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

330ml bottle into schooner. Grainy citrus nose, very pale yellow beer with solid white head. Medium carbonation. Sharp mineral water texture and taste. Finish is grainy and lightly citric with rockmelon right at the end. Average ’Aussie’ pale ale. Why is it classified as a Cream Ale?

Bottle from StarmoreBoss, Sheffield. Hazy, straw colour. Film of mucky white head. Sweet, juicy malt. Light citrus. Rubber. Taste is mostly dry, with a little malty sweetness. Decent body. Finish is dry. Quite enjoyed this, on a hot day. Gone in 60 seconds...

Bottle from StarmoreBoss, Sheffield. Clear, green tinged, straw colour. Thin, lasting, bubbly, white head. Sweet, buttery malt. Hint of pale honey. Taste is light sweet. Light dry. Palate is thin. Finish is light dry. Fairly unremarkable. It’s come from the other end of the world, and it was still only two and a half quid. That probably sums it up.

Pours amber with a quickly fading head.Nose shows lemony hops and grainy, bready, slightly stale malt.Very similar flaovurs, but with spicy hops instead of the lemony notes. More stale malt follows.Body feels slightly watery.

Some citrus flavours coming through followed by some malt. Not great as far add paddle ales go.

(Bottle) Clear yellowy pale gold with no head. Aroma is mainly harsh metallic hops with hints of gras and soap. Light body and coarse fizzy carbonation. Flavour is both bland and harsh: coarse hoppy bitterness, thin sharp citrus and some sweetness. Overall rather nasty.

(bottle) Unattractive pale straw, with no head. Aroma is grainy with just detectable hints of citrus and maybe candy. Pleasant palate: light body, well carbonated. Rather thin flavour, but OK. A bit grainy, with some citrus hints and some light, but a bit metallic, bitterness in finish. Overall, drinkable but bland and lacking in character.
