Aug 21, 2007 Took the brewery tour while in Launceston Tasmania. This brew is special for 2 reasons (so they say): it isn’t exported off the island at all, and the recipe hasn’t changed since the brewery was founded 6 million years ago. somehow they incorporate roasted unmalted barley into the recipe, and somehow it manages not to make it into the palate anywhere! Anyway, this one is your average pale lager, a little more cereal-ish perhaps, and certainly nice and clean (it may help that my sample was pretty darn fresh). Made more enjoyable because it was part of my amazing Tassie experience.

Jul 8, 2007 Updated: Jul 12, 2007Pale golden amber in colour with medium to high carbonation. Long-lasting frothy white head with fair lacing. Moderate bitterness with a short, dry and crisp finish. Pretty good as pale lagers go and refreshing.

Jul 8, 2007 From a 750 ml bottle - Golden amber with a frothy white head which dies back to a thin layer. High carbonation. Malty with a medium bitterness. One of the better Australian macro lagers. Crisp, clear and refreshing. Not a bad lawnmower beer although a bit too gassy.

Mar 22, 2007 Ahh the old "Crayfish." Being a Launceston boy who grew up on draught, this stuff became bit of a delicacy through my teens, pretty much because it was something different, and being a bit scarcer was easier to keep tabs on at parties... good nonetheless.

Oct 11, 2003 Quite a light beer, light in body, light in taste. Good if you just feel like slamming some down on a hot day but nothing to tell mum about. cheers
