Jahills (151), Cambridge (Hobart), Australia Dec 27, 2003 This beer is so far ahead of any midstength in the country. A lot easier to drink than their pale (though i love their pale) but for different occasions. Darker and still lots of flavour. A few herbs and flowers out of the garden. Very good quality beer.
chrismwpcs (67), South Hedland, Australia Oct 20, 2008 Fuck. You must have brain damage or if you don’t you will after drinking this absolute cat piss capped in a bottle. It is so fucking bad that if you had a carton of this shit in your home ASIO would raid your place anally probe you and send you to Guantanamo Bay. Steer clear of this utter bilge water disguised apparently as beer? Muggus69 (281), Sydney, Australia Sep 25, 2008 330ml bottle. Pours a very nice clean copper-amber body with a smallish dense beige head, leaving lace on the way down.
Good nose packed with the fruity citrus hops you can come to expect from its big brother, bit of grainy caramel malt in the background.
Body is tremendously full for the strength, smooth slightly clingy mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, drying texture.
Cereal and toffee malts in the background, notes of grapefruit and peach skin, maybe a touch of pine and grass, hops seem dominant and distracting. Finishes with a decent hit of bitterness, slightest bit chalky.
Fantastic ’midstrength’, would give most full strength Aussie amber ales a run for their money. Highly sessionable and flavoursome.
Spesh1 (40), , Australia Aug 5, 2008 Good appearance, nice hoppy aroma, Caramel malt flavour that is well balanced. Top mid strength. Vac (2274), San Diego, California, USA Jun 12, 2008 Bottle from the aussie bar in the Gaslamp (can’t remember it’s name). Pours with a deep amber body topped by a thin head with some lacing. It’s nice and hoppy wtih a grassy and slightly grapefruity note as well as an underlying sweet maltiness. Meidum bodied and tingly from the carbonation. MBison (445), Southern Highlands, Australia Feb 18, 2008 Bottle (330ml). Poured a copper color with a off-white, frothy head which was mostly diminishing. Aroma was of leeches, strawberries with mixed berries and mild notes of hops. Flavor was of canned fruit, strawberries, raspberries, mild toffee and a mild hop bitterness. Light bodied with lively carbonation, watery texture, light mouthfeel and an average finish.
