TedE (2767) reviewed Crony Refreshing Pale Ale from Tribe Breweries 4 years ago
Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5
375ml can into schooner. From BWS, Glen Innes. Pours a hazy amber with a thin head of white suds. Intriguing nose. Honey, stonefruit, touch of lavender. Minimal lacing. Nicely bitter on the swallow. Tastes delicious, slight zing, light body. Finish is lingering guava and distant pineapple. I was ready to dismiss this this as yet another supermarket 'Aussie' pale ale but this is a satisfying drop. No world beater but very solid.

(Can) Pours clear golden amber with decent white head. Aroma is subtle and quite pleasant - cereal, citrus, candy hints. Light bodied with good carbonation. Taste has a subtle background of candy sweetness. There’s bitterness in the finish but rather metallic. There’s some citrus notes up front. Pleasant, refreshing but not very interesting.

330ml bottle into pint glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Pours a very pale golden amber with a large sticky head of white froth. Lots of tiny bubbles. A little patchy lacing. Nose is sweet malt with a little background lemon. Not much taste but finish is lightly bitter with late lemon. Pretty average lager, better than most macros.

330ml brown stubbie (of course) into lager glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Pours pale amber with a large frothy head. Highly carbonated. Very light floral aroma, hardly perceptible. Tastes like a dialed back CUB product. Like a 'Junior Burger' VB. Everything is low key and forgettable, an inoffensive lawnmower beer.

375ml can into schooner glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Pours a crystal clear amber with a large frothy white head. Malty nose, slight fruit. Good body, smooth texture. Taste is fizzy and malty, finish is slightly sour with some tin. Not bad, easy drinking lager let down by the lingering sourness.

375ml can into pint glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Cloudy amber beer, big sticky frothy white head. Nose is full of tropical fruit, some grass, a little malt. Good body, smooth texture, really easy to drink. Finish is 'fruit tingles' with late cleansing grassy bitterness. Nothing wrong with it although no world-beater.

Bargain bin, BWS! Yeaaahhh! Into a crowded market of really terrible 3.5-4% beers comes another! Aimed at blokes with a dog chained to their ute, this one even has a dog on the bottle. Doesn't smell of sewer, hooray. Does unfortunately taste like one. It's an amber beer with no head that smells like sweet nail varnish. Tastes like water, finish is a form of abuse. Really, it's that bad. Somehow manages to taste like rotting vegetables and a bag of lollies that some kid left in the car last summer AT THE SAME TIME. A contender for worst beer of all time.

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4.5
A beer brewed in Vietnam for an Australian supermarket chain, says 'Draft' but only available in a can, what can go wrong? 330ml can poured into a San Miguel glass (why not?) Pale amber beer with a large diminishing head of foam atop, nose is plasticine and bread. Light carbonation. Taste is sweet but very very light, finish has some tin and lingering cardboard malt. Faint praise but not horrible.

330ml bottle into schooner. Crystal clear(unfiltered?) golden bronze beer with frothy white head. Nose of malt and citrus. High carbonation. Light body. Taste is grassy, herbal, woody. Finish is initially malty then strong bitter lemon takes over. Doesn't quite gel flavourwise but drinkable. Bit of a coincidence that John Boston releases a 'limited release' session IPA not long after James Squire released a 'limited release' session IPA (Cabin Fever)!

330ml bottle into glass. Clear bottle, not skunky but not great. Cooked vegetables and dough aroma. Pale amber, thin head. Low low carbonation. Taste is cooked vegetables, finish is watery cooked vegetables. Horrible.
