12.7 ounce bottle - $1.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours out the expectantly crystal clear, pale gold body with a long-lasting high crown of white froth. Smell: Mild maltiness on the nose with some lightly sweet-scented, bready tones and an everso slender, thin background note of spice. Taste: Lightly sweet, lightly grainy extra pale maltiness soon slides into a spicy, leafy hop character and faint bitterness. There’s a faint, faroff hint of breadiness, but then the flavor and body lightens substantially prior to the smooth, clean finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: It’s not a bad lil’ lager. It’s clean with decent, albeit light flavors, has a nice appearance, and, the key, it has no ghastly off-flavors.

i hope i am not being too presumptuous but methinks most of us started out drinking and enjoying ordinary good tasting lagers and pales just like this. now forgive me but this has a real beer aroma from days gone bye and it is intense enough, as the Aussies know how to do it. God bless them all! a hop and oil can aroma and good tight and small carbonation with a malt and bit of mellow tropical fruit then bitter dry finish. sorry you can’t down this brew in my book. this is decent beer.

Draught (served too cold as is the Australian way). Appears clear yellow with a small white head. Nose is light malt with an unpleasant soapy character. Tongue is similar with a metallic finish. No hop presence to speak of. Don’t bother.

Pours clear, light straw, effervescent with little head or lacing. No wonder the "preferred" drinking method is straight out of the stubby. The Bad: tinny, metallic, chemical aroma and flavor. Tastes of slightly woody, generic mild hop extract (pride of ringwood), light hint of DMS, and very little else. Highly carbonated, best served ice cold to numb the off-tasting chemical compounds. The Good: Twist off caps have fun Aussie trivia underneath, and jackalopes are cool. Goes great with meat pies, sausage rolls, and any other items from the fry-o-lator. Plus, you can be the coolest person at your next Austalian BBQ and drink a real Aussie Lager actually produced in Australia.

Pours clear golden with a small white head. Very light malt aroma. Flavor is light grainy malt, slightly metallic finish.

This beverage was a leftover from a party we had a couple of weeks back. Unfortunately there is not much to report other than a toasty corn flavor and other generic pale lager characteristics. Avoid this if you can.
