On tap at The Brewery Bar and Restaurant, Port Vila, August 2014. Dark golden with a small white head. Sweet with apples. Not as refreshing as the better one, still a drinkable one.

Bottle at Erakor Island Resort, Vanuatu, August 2014. Clear golden with a white head. On the thin side with malt, bread, some light fruit. Also some notes of vegetables. Drinkable but far from interesting.

Dull pale brown. Aroma is paint (as usual for the brewery), with light caramel. Light caramel taste, maybe a hint of tartness. Thin. Doesn’t develop any complexity. A little disappointing.

Cloudy dull colour. Smells like plastic and paint. Tastes the same. No real beer character, just faults. Bleh.

Dull apple juice colour. Rotten apple aroma. Sweet taste, light brown sugar note. Slight tartness late. A bit watery. Not sure what to make of this. It’s different, if nothing else.

Pale gold. Vague malt. Tastes homebrewy - wort, fusels, watery and a bit appley. Not very good. Don’t like these faults.

"Bitter" here is the Australian context. Pale gold. Aroma is a big plasticy. Watery taste, pretty bland. Maybe some malt, but mostly plasticy. Not very successful.
