Bottle, 0.33l. Clear deep golden color with medium frothy white head and sparkling appearance. Aroma of grainy and caramel malt, bread, grassy hops and citrus. Taste starts with moderate sweet malt, follows by citrus and grassy acidity, crisp and dry mouthfeel and light bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Better than majority Aussie lagers...

Reasonable Aussie effort at a pilsener. Bit of that saaz hops flavor coming through.

Cloudy...looks like ginger beer. Smells very much like ginger beer. Ginger, sweet malts sugars...the malts do not entirely balance it all out.

Same macro-grainy character as the lager and light. Touch of hop - saazy - and that helps it along

Light amber, smells like a big ol’ whack of diacetyl. Taste is butter and cascades...why would I want to subject myself to this?

Vaguely gold colour, has a malty-grainy nose. Basically clean. Bland and macroish but ok.
