Draft at the Australian Heritage Hotel, Sydney and apparently the only place where this is sold? Poured a mostly clear yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy head, lots of bubbles and clingy lace. The aroma is malt and lager yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a big, slightly sweet malt, dry, earthy, big woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Ideal for the Australian sunshine!

Malty aroma and flavor with a hint of butter, cola and chocolate. Sour, probably infected. Grapefruit. Red berries. Thinnish. Thanks to jbrus for sharing this beer from down under.

Schooner on tap at Australian hotel. Little discernible nose. Murky red/brown beer with minimal film of cream head. Full-bodied and slightly spritzy. Finish is tangy sweetness with a suggestion of chocolate & coffee. Has a tiny hint of tinny/vegetal hops right at the end. Not great but not bad.

Tap at the Australian Hotel. Unassuming at first, but some nice caramel malts appear in the background, and provide some nice dry bitterness throughout.

Schooner on tap at Australian hotel The Rocks. Aussie hop nose. Clear golden with many bubbles, small head. Nice malty flavour stymied by disappointing aftertaste. It all goes a bit macro at the end. Too much like VB for my tastes.
