Feb 3, 2004 A one-month shelf life? No worries there. A cloudy and tasty drop, and if youre ever in Sydney, swing by the Australian Hotel and you can get it on tap. Mother's milk!

Oct 18, 2004 Hazy blonde coloured body with a thin white head. Aroma of coriander seed, wheat and whole oranges. Medium-bodied; Spicey flavour with coriander seed, nutmeg & wheat-VERY flavourful! Aftertaste spicey and full flavoured. Overall, one of the best lagers i’ve had-I think it’s a wheat! Afterwards...STRONG meaty flavours with beef stock, potatoes & celery!! WIERD! Tasting this after the Cascade 4 Seasons, these tastes come out, but prior, the wheaty tastes come out. Still, a crazy brew that is unpasteurised and very refreshing. I sampled this pint at the Australian Hotel on the Rocks in Sydney, Australia on 09-June-2004.

Apr 7, 2003 31/3 at George IV Inn (Picton): Lovely natural hop aroma. Short lasing white head on a murky yellow-amber liquid. Very fruity, malty taste balanced with the perfect amount of bitterness. Lovely hop flavour too. Smooth, medium mouthfeel. Nice lacing on glass. Great price $2.50 middie!. Slightly more ale-like in taste than a lager though I must admit (expecially with the body).

Jan 4, 2003 Updated: Jan 6, 2003Very fruity, especially peaches. This is a great in-pub beer sans cool pub: very lame that heaps of losers at the Australian after a hard day selling real estate insist on a VB from the tap next door. Liked it a little better than the bock because I was in the mood for pouring it down fast after losing netball. Peace.

May 26, 2003 Bottled. Deep golden and hazy. Orangey aroma. Light bodied, but still with nice malt accent. Very flavourful and promising with balanced bitterness, but also beginning deterioration in form of acidity. I really need to seek up this brewer to get their beer fresh whenever I go down under. Thanks duff for sending this and all the other beers!!!

Jul 15, 2003 Updated: Dec 24, 2005Aroma is dominated by an objectionably high level of diacetyl. Appearance is very clear (despite not being filtered) and a beautiful gold colour with reasonable (not great) head retention. Good strong malt presence and mouthfeel, could do with more hops (especially bitterness). Really enjoyable beer if you block your nose!
RR: Geez, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a good Scharers. I know they’re pretty inconsistent but still. Perilously close to dropping quite a way down the scale.
