Schooner on tap at Welders Dog, Tamworth. Pours a purple colour with a thin white head. Smells like lemonade. Tastes like a sweet musky lemon. Very refreshing with a dry finish. Not 100% sure it should be on ratebeer but nice enough.

Schooner on tap at Welder's Dog, Tamworth. Pours really black with a thin head of crema. Nose of cocoa and milk chocolate. Nice sweet taste, medium body, excellent sequential lacing. This is a very nice beer, full of flavour but it's about as far from a Pils as you can get. Still good though.

(Can) Pours black with tan head. Very difficult pour with huge amounts of froth. Aroma of dark roast malt with hints of cocoa. Medium body, well carbonated if a bit fizzy. Nice taste. Dark roast malts, black coffee bitterness in finish. Some pleasant fruitiness to start. Well worth the wait for the huge head to settle.

355ml can - Pours a hazy golden amber colour with a small diminishing frothy white head. The aroma is hoppy, tropical fruits, dank forest and malty notes. A moderately sweet taste, sweet malts, tropical fruit and grassy flavours with a lightly astringent hoppy bitterness.

355ml can - Pours a clear pale straw gold colour with a thin frothy white head that settled. The aroma is pjbey with some tropical notes. A moderately sweet taste, pine and light tropical flavours with a drying bitter finish. All a bit short a lacking depth of flavour.

Schooner on tap at Welder's Dog, Armidale. Pours a very pale amber with high fine carbonation and a nice head of white foam. Fresh nose of guava and melon. Clean, refreshing. Lots of floral notes in the finish, Cashmere hops? Lingering dry fruity bitterness at the end. Really nice quaffer but WTF is an XPA! (It's OK. It's my problem, I'll get over it.)

Schooner on tap at Welder's Dog, Armidale. Golden amber beer with a nice foamy head. Tiny bubbles swirl. Nose has hints of malt, lots of tropical fruit. Good body, smooth texture. Nice sequential lacing. There's a luscious toffee underpinning everything but the bittersweet fruit wins out in the end. This is a really good beer.

Schooner on tap at Welder's Dog, Armidale. Pale yellow beer with a foamy white head. High fine carbonation. Standard Lager nose. Tin, malt, slightly sour grain. One degree above a macro, intentionly so I suspect. Easy drinking. This is definitely NOT a Vienna Lager (Ratebeer suggests it IS).

330ml (?) can into glass. From Welder's Dog, Armidale. Pours a ruby red/brown with a solid tan-coloured head. High fine carbonation. Strong nose of malt and stewed dark fruit. Very English. Full body, smooth. Fruity taste with a sour lingering finish. Some smoky malt and alcohol late on. Nice, like an amped-up ESB.
