Lunkie (1006), Glen Iris, Australia Jun 19, 2008 Sweet malt aroma with flowers. Murky yellow colour with poor head and lacing. Malt hop flavour with flat aftertaste. Flat palate.
Dredd (348), Ormond, Australia May 16, 2008 This is a pretty thin beer, probably tasting this at the wrong time of the year since it really tastes like a Summer beer.
Aroma is slightly citrus, pours light amber/yellow with a white head that quickly dissipates. Definitely not driven by malt, the beer relies heavily on it’s hop character to pull it through and gets ever so close. The flavour profile is slight citrus and almost mango that is meshed with the hop bitterness which is pleasant and certainly not resinous.
If there was a but more body perhaps pushing closer to the 4.5-4.8% range it would be a bit better balanced IMHO. As a result it seems thin with a short finish.
