Pyobon (122), Sydney, Australia Jun 4, 2008 Bottle. Poured slightly hazy very pale golden with very slight head. Little aroma but pleasant floral hops with some maltiness. The palate was surprising compared to the appearance and taste, it had some body and quite a bit of carbonation. The flavour is quite subtle, but pleasant. It is dominanted by the floral hops with some malty and caramel tastes initially and a fairly bitter finish. Overall it’s certainly drinkable but a little light in flavour. Samma (46), Australia Apr 30, 2008 Bottle. This is a distinctive beer to say the least, at least in the Australian context. Very dry, with floral nose and quite tart in the mouth. I surprised some friends with this and it got mixed reviews. Not sure it’s something I’ll drink in large quantities, but a refreshing lager to the say the least. Labarde (22), Australia Apr 29, 2008 Pours a very light blonde colour, very little lacing and a poor head. Sour fruity smell, almost like a white wine. Floral taste, very hoppy and vinous, with fruit notes of grape and lemon rind. Dry bitter finish. A unique brew but not one I especially enjoyed.
gam (441), brisbane, Australia Jan 13, 2008 Malt hop aromas it has a wine balance some fruit flavours,grapefruit like,good on the palate.Dry finish still can,t get used to wine tasing beers but ths is a thirst quencher served chilled. TimE (1005), Tokyo, Japan Jan 9, 2008 Reminded me of Moa in distinctiveness and its connection to the wine world. The nose is oaky, caramel and has almost a chardonny vinousness to it. The body is oddly more like a fine pilsner lagered in a cab sav wine barrell with fruit complexity. Smooth mouth. Very interesting and definetely not soon forgetable. A definete must try.
