Frothy white head on an unclear amber coloured body. Malt, pine, herbal & resinous aroma. Medium sized, soft over the tongue with a sticky back. Herbal, malt, spicy, pine & berry tastes with lightly hopped bitter finish. Lovely quaffer.

500ml bottle. Opalescent, orange, golden colour with average, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, minimally starchy and spicy, pale malty aroma, a touch of floral honey. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally starchy, pale malty, mildly bitter, hoppy counterpart, hints of honey, floral honey; lingering, sweet-ish finish with a hoppy bite. Creamy texture, smooth, soft and silky, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft carbonation. Well crafted (nice colour, good mouthfeel), clean, a bit cautious, simple and monotonous - OK.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden and lightly gushy. Then thin head. Nose - unusual for a lager, there's banana esters. Also caramel and light bread. Taste - sweet banana bread. Palate - light to medium bodied, a bit sweet really. Overall - not sure about this one.
