From a 330ml bottle on 10/9/2011. Pours a very pale yellow with a small head. Has a slightly unpleasant grainy chemical aroma. Tastes bad - bland, overly sweet, and artificial. Horrible and worse than I was expecting. Avoid.

Tap. Yellow gold with a fair white head. Very high bead. Grainy aroma. Bland sweet and corny with meek weedy hops. Soft mouthfeel is the best thing about it.

Draught at Brewery - on the tasting sheet notes it is called "Bruers Bright Natural Draught". Clear golden with big white head. Pleasant simple aroma of hops and malt. Light body, well carbonated. Lovely slightly sweet foretaste with hints of peardrops, rosewater and fruitiness. Nice crisp gentle long bitter finish. Overall a very drinkable, nicely balanced, clean beer.

Bottle. Gold with a loosish inch of white head. Fine bead. Aroma is a little sharp with citrus and grass, some spice. Taste has a very little sweet grainy malt, a touch of cardboard and the rather harsh bitterness that seems a bit artificial. Slightly slick mouthfeel, but didn’t pick up anything in the taste or aroma. Crisp I guess but not very inviting - pretty much nothing to it until the bitterness at the end. Unbalanced but at least it’s not bland.

Pale gold pour with a rapidly fading dismal head. Lively carbonation.Aroma is of grainy malt, lemon juice and some faint grassy and metallic hops. Typical boring aussie lager.Very similar flavours. Grainy aussie malt combining with a weak metallic bitterness threatens to block out any other flavours.Active carbonation suits the style well.

I believe the name of this beer has changed to Resort Seasonal draught. The tatsing notes I have from my visit to the brewery / cafe in the Hunter yesterday have this exact description under this new name. Draught. Hazy light brown with white head. No aroma. Light body and carbonation. Some malt and bitter with a hint of fruitiness. A pleasant but unexceptional beer.

Draught. Straw colour with white head. Subtle floral aroma. Light body, medium carbonation. Good hop flavour giving floral notes and bitterness. A nice pilsener.

This definitely appears to now be called Bluetongue Premium Light. The description on the brewery tasting notes is the same as the description here for "Nobbys Light". Draught. Gold with little head. Steely aroma. Very light body, medium carbonation. Grain and vegetable taste. It’s not bad for a light beer.
