Bottle in Canberra.

Frickin awful stuff. All grain alcohol and adjuncts, damn close to undrinkable.

...draft. Well, not completely horrible, but not good either. Decent malt flavor, and hop notes are there, but too watery, and a weird aftertaste.

Bottle (330ml). Poured a golden orange with a average size, dense frothy, white head which was fully lasting. Aroma was of mild caramel malts, light citrus and passion fruit. Flavor was a light bitterness with faint caramel malts, light citrus, subtle fruitiness and a metallic finish. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation, watery texture, dry mouthfeel and a average finish.

Fruity light american style pale ale without the bitterness. A bit on the sweet and malty side too. A stepping stone beer into something else.
