330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, orange golden colour with small to average, frothy, slowly diminishing, decently lacing, white head. Slightly herbal-grassy and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, minimally biscuity, minimally spicy, pale malty background, hints of lemon balm, thistle, some orange. Taste is mildly bitter, slightly citrusy fruity and herbal-grassy hoppy, minimally biscuity and spicy, pale malty basis with some residual sweetness, hints of orange, a touch of thistle.
Dissolved sugar enriched, minimally oily, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to coarse, mildly prickly carbonation.
Light, fairly hoppy and fairly drinkable, nothing special - OK.

330ml bottle from Marina Cafe & Bar, Cockatoo Island. Amber gold colour, white foam head and aroma of malt, grain. Taste is malty, grainy, hay, with tangy papery bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying bitter finish. Quite OK.

James Squire Orchard Crush is a classic pretty standard cider but alright for all that.

Draft at Rowers Club, Mosman, Sydney, as Shackles. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt and yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth, malty, herbal, aromatic hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Pours a hazy golden amber with thousands of tiny bubbles and a towering head of foam. Looks good. Aroma of tangerine and rockmelon, light malt and pepper in the background. Medium body, slight zing in the mouth. Taste and finish are subdued fruit. Very easy to drink, a surprising amount of substance for a 'low carb' beer. In fact I think it's the only 'low carb' I've drank that doesn't taste like tinny water. Nice one.

330ml bottle pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is some sweet malts a little citrus leaf hops. Taste is more of the citrus leaf hops some light grain.
