Tap pint at Melbourne Airport. Pours clear pale gold with white foam. Vague bread, citrus, grass on the aroma. Taste: light sweet and bitter. Light body with moderate carbonation. Hardly any aroma, little in the way of taste, no body. Not a lot to recommend tbh

Crystal clear amber beer with a thin white head. Light carbonation. Lightly roasted rice nose, a touch of grain. Nice lacing, flat mouthfeel, medium body. Super easy drinking. Slightly sour finish, a little lingering tin. Fills the brief as a Japanese Lager.

Can. Cloudy pale yellowish orange with a goon inch of white head. Aroma of lemon pudding, crackers, light spices. Upon a taste perhaps there's a touch of lime too. Dryish, spritzy. Getting towards thin. Modest bitterness. A good dustcutter.

Can from liquor store in Apollo Bay. Nice hoppy aroma of a hopped pale ale. Taste is a little confused between the Sigtuna style hop and the lighter fruity ones.

Very Spinal Tap, that blurb. Can. Black with a fat coat of tan head that doesn't last long. Aroma of mocha, heavy roast, spiced fudge, wood. 7+ The vanilla - along with loads of chocolate emerges upon a taste. Very sweet but the wood and roast just about keep it in check. No overt booze. I would have welcomed a bit more bitterness but this is very nice stuff.
