Being a one-time homebrewer (on a very small and very basic scale) there is a metallic/hebaceousness to this beer that reminds me of homebrew - the basic kit kind and it is not a desirable character. Good golden colour, with a malty light body. I tipped this beer out.

Sep 10, 2009 Just to re-iterate other comments below this is fantastic packaging for what is an average beer (and I mean average in the true sense of the word). Shiney orange-gold in colour and thead holds ok form. Not much happening off the nose but there are grainy, mainstream-like malts lurking. Palate is a bit weird due to a quite dominant burnt rubber character that actually becomes more pronounced on the nose. Some fruit, mandarin (good call Graeme) comes through as well before a big whack of fizz and mega lager-like bitterness to finish. Probably a decent attempt at a geniunely Australian style of beer.

Jul 24, 2009 a very tragic label didn’t fill me with lots of hope. Pours amber with not much of the touted Hemi head. There are some herb and citrus aroma and flavour, but the aftertaste isn’t that flash. Nothing too exciting going on here.

May 3, 2009 Great packaging, quite unique! Pours golden body with a nicely packed white head, certainly looks the part. Nose has grassy, herbacious hops, unfortunately that is where the fun ends. A big old whack of grainy, aussie lager malt overpowers all else. I just don’t get why oz brewers use gritty, grainy malt that brings their beer in line with mainstream crap. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good beer for what it is, but it could be so so much better.

Mar 22, 2009 Slightly sunburnt golden body with a short lasting head. Decent carbonation. The aroma seems herbaceous with the taste a touch oily, hints of citrus and just a bit spicey. Medium body with a long finish. Reminds me somewhat of the Knappstein Reserve Lager.
