Tap at Hair of the Dog, Phloen Chit, Bangkok. Poured a hazy light orange colour with a round white head. The aroma is big orange peel zesty citrus and alcohol. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a smooth, rich tropical citrus, light alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. For 10.5% the alcohol is reasonably well hidden and with bags of fruit that seems to keep it there.

(Bottle) Pours hazy golden amber with small loose white head. Pleasant aroma - citrus, pine, hints of grass, biscuits and cardboard. Light body with rather fizzy carbonation. Taste is light on malt and heavy on hops giving some imbalance. Starts with tart citrus notes with the slightest biscuity malt, becomes a little watery in the mid-palate and then some good hoppy bitterness develops in the finish. Pleasant enough but rather unbalanced. Seems to have had a name change to Mt. Macedon Pale Ale.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. Funky fruity hop aroma, a touch metallic. Hazy pale yellow with thin solid white head. Medium carbonation, tiny bubbles. Light body, zingy. Finish is malty, fruity, hoppy, everything a good lager should be. Easy drinking and moreish, really nice.

On tap at the Local Taphouse Sydney, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light lacto notes and some citrus. Flavour is light, with lots of wheaty notes and a touch of citrus. Pretty low funk and low on the lacto. Underwhelming - it's okay.

Bottle. Pale gold with a white head that doesn’t last long. Mildly funky aroma with mandarins, lychees, herbs, sherbet. Light, spritzy, slightly kefir-like texture. A little sour, a little sweetly grainy, fruity. Dry finish with no particular bitterness. Refreshing. Would have been good before the cool weather crept in. Worth another look in summer.

330ml bottle into shaker. ABV 6%. Nose has pepper, stonefruit, grass. Hazy golden amber beer with sudsy white head. Many fine bubbles. Mineral water freshness is followed by subdued hop finish. Bitter lemon at first then a little cashew sweetness later on. Excellent beer for a sultry summer night.
