Jan 26, 2008 Golden coloured, thin white coloured head, very light to non-existent lacing. The aroma is light, some grass, flowers, pale malts, lightly sweet. The flavour is a little bland, some caramel sweetness, light grassy hops. Light nearing watery mouthfeel, light body, mild carbonation. Finishes lightly hopped, very mild. A tasty lager, a revisit is in the future.

Jan 15, 2008 At the brewery-Deep orange/amber body, pours a frothed rocky bleached white cap. The lacing and retention are excellent. Fresh fruity aroma, green apples, green leafy hops, lots of sugary malts leading to a touch of orange peel. There’s quite the balance in the flavour of subtle, off-dry malts, some fruit (pear, apple), some biscuit, with hearty doses of basil and leafy hops. Very refreshing, assertive, while at the same time being respectively "light". Another gem from this brewery!

Dec 23, 2007 From a growler. (Thanks radiomgb). Copper orange with just a film of head. (Perhaps due to time spent in the growler). The aroma is of stale apple and fresh cut grass. The flavour is more malt than hops - the malt profile actually becomes quite nice as the beer warms. Nice bitter finish. As full-bodied a light lager as you’ll find. Very tasty and drinkable. Why don’t they bottle this stuff?
