375ml bottle into schooner glass. Light caramel nose. Amber beer with diminished head. A few bubbles. Watery mouthfeel with abrupt sour malt finish. The blurb on the bottle is describing a completely different beer to what I’m drinking, something wrong here. Blurb or beer?

375ml bottle into pint glass. Chocolatey boozy nose. Black beer with no light penetration, tan head. Quite a lot of carbonation. Light bodied, first taste is spritzy and bitter then milk chocolate. Finish is lingering dark chocolate/cocoa. Really nice. Australia has some great stouts but no-one seems to drink them.

375ml bottle into glass. Light floral hop nose, like potpourri almost. Amber beer with thin head. Medium carbonation. A little malt in the mouth with an abrupt clean crisp finish. Nice & sessionable.

375ml bottle into glass. Nose is acidic, almost vegetal. Pale amber colour with two finger white head. Tiny carbonation. Nice mineral water character. Clean light-bodied beer with metallic hop finish. Those CUB cooked vegetables are lurking in the background. Not a pale ale.

Bottle. Pale gold with a white head that doesn’t hang around. Aroma is lemony and a bit grainy with obvious wheat. Light bodied. Crackery with little bitterness but a whack of lemon and a dryish finish. A wheat lager, eh? An OK dust cutter for a warm evening.

330ml bottle into glass. Pours a cloudy amber with little to no head. Slight sweet toffee nose. Not impressive 1st taste. A bit watery, cooked vegetables. A little bit of malt. The aftertaste is ordinary just staying out of VB territory. Bit disappointing actually.

Roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, light brown sugar in the aroma. Flavor is the same with a bit of bourbon. A bit bittersweet. While it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t all that good, either. Simple is it’s best quality.

(Bottle) Clear pale golden with short-lived thin head. Not much aroma: hints of damp cardboard, iron and maybe stone-fruit. Light body, rather fizzy. Unusual taste, but not unpleasant, quite crisp and uncomplicated. There’s a nice balance of fruitiness and subtle sweetness and some crisp but slightly metallic bitterness in the finish. I didn’t enjoy the first taste, but then it started to grow on me, however after a while it seemed rather artificial. Drinkable, refreshing, but a bit odd.
