330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a clear dark amber/brown with small off-white head, decent retention and lacing. Aroma is malts with toffee and dough. Taste is sweet malts, toffee, grass, pleasant but a bit thin. Light to medium bodied. I quite enjoyed it.

Tap at Speights Brewpub, Hamilton, NZ. Pours clear mid to dark gold with off white foam. Not much aroma, it was served at about 3 degrees centigrade. Maybe some malt character in there somewhere. On the taste, again the serving temperature wasn’t helpful. Malt, biscuit, hoppy hints. Medium body with soft carbonation.

Golden pour with a small white head; mainly grain and malt - quite watery. Not a fan, tbh.

Haven't had this in forever. Bottle. Amber with a good cm of off white head. Light grainy aroma with a little caramel and weeds. Very thin. Dryish with very light bread, a touch of caramel and low bitterness. Vapid but competent.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe: BB 18th Jan 2022. Drank at home on 1st Aug 2021. Off-white head on an amber body, clean and clear looking. Malty nose and taste, caramel to the fore, so pretty sweet. This was the best of my three beers from Oceania in my little tasting (the other two being Toohey's Extra Dry and Carlton Cold).
