mkel07 (4), Brisbane, Australia does not count Oct 7, 2008 330ml bottle. Pours with a small frothy head head that doesn’t last long. Hints of citrus - drinkable and better than the other offering from Fusion Breweing - Bluebottle Beer. gam (576), brisbane, Australia Oct 5, 2008 Decent head,frothy,gold coloured ale,good carbonation.Aroma malt note of biscuit.Flavour apricot,malt,nice hop taste,good bitter,decentflavours in this pils,easy drinking,hop and malt taste at the end,not bad. bluevegie (1769), Perth, Australia Sep 30, 2008 In the glass it looks like a pale golden colour with a hardly lasting head. Citrus notes on the aroma also hints of corn. Taste is no better than the aroma promises, not too much bitterness for a pilsner, no depth and no real flavours. I didn’t have any spicy food with this beer so maybe that is why it wasn’t any good. Muggus69 (232), Sydney, Australia Sep 5, 2008 330ml bottle. Pours a clean pale gold body with quick dying white foam. Slightly floral aroma; grainy maltiness, slightly sweet and honeyish. Watery body, restrained carbonation, bit chalky and dry. Bit of hops and honeyish malt on the body. Reasonably unoffensive, kind of like Highlandlad mentioned, its the kind of beer you don’t realise you’re drinking...thats exactly what happened to me midrate! highlandlad (1200), Sydney, Australia Aug 6, 2008 The bottle says this is brewed to complement spicy food. Which it does, in the way that a white wall makes a good backdrop. This is the kind of beer that you start to forget while you’re drinking it, so make notes. Otherwise all you will have is the sound of crickets and the gentle rustle of tumbleweed blowing through the space where your memories should be. I’m genuinely scared that I will buy this beer over and over again in the mistaken belief that I haven’t tried it before. That’s how little an impression it left. It will be Groundhog Day every time I go to the bottle shop. This beer is one step above wet air. It looks like every other lager you ever saw but smells and tastes of less. The "bold use of aromatic hops" promised on the label fails to translate to anything inside the bottle. There are no off-notes - just a mild, dry, grainy hint of something or other. What were we talking about? The mouthfeel is sharp and over-fizzy. Hard and soda-like. There are faint Munich malts, some honey-sweetness and a meek suggestion of bitterness as an after-thought. There’s nothing awful about it but it’s so inoffensive that it’s... well... almost offensive. These guys need to sample the Archipelago range from Singapore for some ideas about brewing for spicy food. (330ml bottle from Petersham Cellars)
