6/11/2022. Can bought at BWS, Kirribilli, enjoyed from the can during a walk in The Royal Botanic Gardens in glorious sunshine. Easy drinking, simple, fruity Aussie pale ale, went down well during the walk but was unremarkable.

Pinnacle's strategy appears to be: produce something that looks like it might fit in a particular industry niche and hope to share the rents. Sounds stupid but I've met people. Presumably this niche is Crown, the beer for people who like bland beer but would like to signal they paid a bit more for it. So it's in a black bottle, which means premium. Very clear deep gold with a modest white head. Shy aroma is slightly grainy and weedy with hints of boiled vegies. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Bland with a slight graininess to the sweetness and modest weedy bitterness.

16/10/2022. “Exotic” impulse buy from Dan Murphy’s to fill the last slot in a mixed 6. Turned out to be nothing more than a brewed for Australia exclusive. It’s a simple pale lager, quite sweet and watery, but refreshing in some rare Melbourne spring sunshine.

500ml can into pint glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Pours a pale amber with a large frothy head. Patchy lacing. Many tiny bubbles stream upwards. Aroma of sweet malt and metallic hops. Tinny dry finish. Easy drinking lager, not horrible. Like a thousand other Asian lagers.
