 MBison (402), Southern Highlands, Australia
Jul 13, 2008 Bottle (500ml). Poured a clear golden brown with a dense, frothy, off-white head which was mostly lasting. A spicy hop aroma with strong notes of aniseed and grass clippings with some English marmalade, biscuity malts, lemon zest and light notes of butterscotch. Flavor was similar to aroma with a good spicy/grassy hop bitterness with zesty marmalade, aniseed, subtle fruitiness (red berries) and a grassy/resiny finish. Medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry resiny mouthfeel and a good finish. Highly sessionable, great stuff!

Jan 1, 2008 Reddish golden with a moderate, but lasting head. The aroma is fruity with a touch of lime. The mouthfeel is nice and the flavour has both sweetness, acidity and notes of malt and fruit, and in the finish good notes of roasted malt as a nice detail. There is no bitterness, well a little in the finish. The overall impression is a bit ordinary, but it’s a stunning label.
