Bottle in Canberra.

Like the IPA, this is pretty solid representation of the style. Maybe not the most exciting style, but very drinkable, plenty of flavor considering, slightly overcarbonated, but really very decent.

Pours a copper colour with light orange head. Malty aroma, caramel, also coming through in the flavours. Light bodied with a dry and bitter finish.

It’s good to see that this drop is hitting the pub taps and is in plentiful supply. This beer now gives the drinker a real choice apart from the multi-brand single style Pilsners available at most outlets. Pours a rich amber colour. Sweet malty aroma and very inoffensive bittering rounds this beer off just nicely. Easy drinking excellent example of its style if perhaps just a little under hopped.
