Draught. Straw colour with little head. Metallic hop aroma. Light body, good carbonation. Malt with some hop bitterness and a hint of fruit. It’s fine, not special.

Bottle. Pale amber / yellow with no head. Very faintly malty aroma with a hint of steeliness. Light body and medium carbonation. Watery taste, especially in finish. Sharpish vegetably with slight maltiness and no bitterness. I suppose it is refreshing and easy to drink, but it is not a good beer (very disappointing for Blue Tongue).

Bottle. Lightly perfumy aroma - floral hop? Slightly orange gold color with a white head that did not last. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. The flavor is floral/fruity with a touch of likely noble hop bitter. It’s crisp. It’s clean. Finish is dry and lightly bitter. Very drinkable. Bitter builds up a bit.

This is a rather light tasting beer - both the basic beer and the ginger. It’s very easy to drink and refreshing. It’s very well balanced. I have been drinking this for several years and I think the ginger has been toned down a little over that time. I get hints of ginseng too. [11/10/07] [17/01/09 - tried it on tap in the Hunter - palate and aroma impressed me more than the bottled version - have left original score.]

330 ml bottle poured into a flute-like Grolsch glass. Pours with a medium head and a dark yellow, slightly orangish color, completely lucid with visible carbonation. Just clear its as water. Aroma is macro corn at first, then a light bready maltiness underneath that and a faint muted citrus. Taste is not that bad actually, again macro-sih corn. Then there is a white Wonder Bread flavor and a decent cheap biscuit maltiness. Very light and quaffable, wont return but not as bad as I thought it would be. Finish is low in bitterness, clean, and again light Wonder Bread.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a white head. Clean, malty nose. Light and watery body but with a good malt base and a somewhat floral hopping also leaving some bitterness. Quite a decent lager really. 090407

Bottled. A light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also lighter notes of malt and hay. The flavor is malty with notes of citrus. The body is thin, and I find it boring - nothing but a thirst quencher.

Bottle at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Brought all the way around the world by Duff just for us to share. What a top bloke. Golden colour with lasting white head. Pilsener aroma which is a bit sickly. Bit of butter and good carbonation, if a little cardboardy.

Bottled. Clear deep golden, small head. Grassy hop aroma. Dry and crisp with rounded mouthfeel. Somewhat grainy with lingering grassy finish. A refreshing "real" pilsener that by far exceeded my low expectations.
