Draft at the brewpub, July 2006. According to the beer list, this is an Australian style lager - I had no idea that there existed a style called Australian Lager - so this is a first for me...

A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with slight notes of spices and fruit. The flavor is sweet malty, but also with a spicy note from the hops - a bit like the lite beers a la BMC - which I don’t like. And no wonder the body is thin.

Co-rated by Scraff! Sparkling clear, straw-colored beer. Small, creamy white head with great retention. Lots of buttered popcorn in the nose. Very light caramel as well. The flavor is buttery with blasts of butterscotch. Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Short, semi-sweet, refreshing finish.

Clear, emdium yellow. Oaty grain, nutty sweet aroma. Good Eurolager. Balanced, a bit light on the bittering.

Poured into a hazed plastic cup in a dark room, so appearance is difficult to judge. Bit of apple in the aroma and flavor. Nothing really offensive, but nothing really in there.

Dark gold, creamy white head. Light buttery flroal nose up front that fades into a dreid fruit and earth finish. Similar flavor with just a touch of peppery hops, and hints of earthy nutiness added to the mix. Nicely balanced as it seem pretty much like a light pils of sorts. Light bodied, light carbonation, soft bitter finish. Might be good with some hot wings, but truly not my thing...

a touch darker than the kolsch... pale golden with a tiny bit of sluggish lacing. sweet grainy aroma with hints of diacetyl. the palate is a touch sweet with some grassiness, grain and a slightly bittered finish. diacetyl doesn’t really show up here oddly. light bodied, crisp, meh. 5/3/5/3/9/2.5
