Bottle. This was surprisingly dull. Good, clean colours. Not an enormous amount of nose. Very clean but simple falvours. Too little hops.

330 ml. bottle. LIght aromas of malt and hop. Light, bright copper color with very little head. Near medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Malt and hop, though neither in great amount. More of an ESB than a pale. Could be a golden. The icy cold advice must be unique to down under. Finishes rather clean; arguably refreshing. Probably a session kind of thing; might improve with quantity.

330 ml. bottle. Warm, fruity ester aroma backed by lightly roasted malt. A copper color with a decent beige/tan head. Medium body with slightly fizzy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel roast backed by floral hop. More grassy than floral. ESB tending towards pilsner? Finish is balanced. Decent drink. Not quite an ESB from the old country though.

bottle - Pours clear gold with a thin white head. It has a light grainy malt aroma. The flavor is cereal malts and some mild hops. The label says pale ale but other than a bit more hops, it doesn’t taste that much different than a macro lager. It’s a little better, but while refreshing it sure is bland. I kind of figured there wasn’t much hope for this one. Not many craft brewers would advise you that their beer is best served "icy cold".

bottle - Well, this one is a first. It’s the first beer that’s made me wonder... what the hell is a wattle? It pours clear amber with very little head. The aroma is mainly nutty caramel malt. The flavor is sweet caramel malt and maybe a hint of dark fruit and unnamed herbal, almost licorice-like something or other. Wattle! I guess... It’s not bad.

bottle - Pours pale, clear gold with a thin white head. It has a cereal malt aroma that makes me think corn. The flavor is more of the same but it does have some decent hops balance. It’s a bit on the watery side, but not too bad on that score. This one is drinkable and would be alright on a hot day, but it’s certainly not worth shipping from Australia.

Draught. Looks decent: amber with nice head. Very little aroma, somewhat malty but not very appealing or interesting. Palate was acceptable, light with moderate carbonation. Flavour is not great but not unpleasant. For a beer on tap in Australia, this rates quite highly, but in the grand scheme of things, that doesn’t count for a lot. More specifically it has more flavour than most Aussie beers, but that flavour is pretty dull being essentially just some grainy matiness. I choose it over most other draught offerings and I just had six of them so I can’t say it’s bad, but if I had the choice there are so many beers I would have rather been drinking.

Fizzy, off-white head with a clear amber colored body. Aromas of sweet malts and some soy sauce. Taste of sweet barely that is easy to sip. A bit biscuity. I don’t know what a wattle seed is or tastes like, but this beer reminds me of Fat Tire. Fizzy mouth with the viscosity of water.
