Tried this on tap at the Australian Hotel in Sydney and was pretty impressed, so I picked up a few bottles and brought it back to the States with me.

Pours a slightly hazy light copper with a thin white head that leaves some patches of lace. Aroma is a mixture of grassy and citric hops and a touch of biscuity malt. Flavor is quite complex, alternating between sweet, slightly sour, and bitter... with bread-like malts, caramel, grapefruit, and an extremely unique bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is low to medium bodied with medium carbonation. This is one of the most unique pale ales I've ever had... not overly hoppy - quite balanced actually... just very unique. I quite like it... a great reminder of Oz.

I have the draft version of this beer very regularly and am quite familiar with that taste. This is a reasonable approximation although the taste is a bit muted.

330 ml bottle, now available in Norway (Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget). Imported to Europe by Hamana Ltd. Herts, England. Bottle conditioned. ABV is 5.2%. Golden colour, nearly clear (just a faint haziness), rich head. Lovely hoppy aroma, notes of citrus and tropical fruits. The flavour is distinctly hoppy but not too bitter, citrus again, on a base of moderate but nice malty sweetness. A very nice pale ale!

Something like 9 AUD a 568ml bottle from a BWS in Brisbane.

Not a great pale ale. Hop profile is average, but it's relatively balanced.

Dark orange hue with a persistent but small head. Aroma was herbal and fruity. Taste is subtle but full at the same time, malts are finely balanced with right amount of hops. Quite juicey but not cloying and too sweet. Delicate and well crafted. Good to come back to if left in the fridge for a while too. Keeps its freshness. despite coming all the way from NZ. Lovely pale ale, one of my favourites in this style.

On tap. Orange color with a finger of white head. Floral and citrusy hop smell. Medium body. Light malt and citrus flavors with noticeable acidity. Went well with a spicy meal!

So, this is the first beer in my great 'beer tasting project'. I don't know much about beers. Don't know the types or differences. So, I decided to get the list of Top Australian Beers, drink them, and rate them - to get a sense for what i like. This was the first on the list of top 10 I could find. I figure my rating system will work like this:
1- disgusting
2- bad, but not memorably bad
3- tolerable if I wanted to drink for a reason (e.g. social convention)
4- this is good
5- gonna preference this if I have a chance, over other beers
SO basically, the scale is kinda relative to other beers (at the top ratings) and my interest in beers overall (noting the lower ratings).
I'm not a big fan of drinking, someone concerned re: addiction and health benefits. But, thought I'd have a little fun and boost my knowledge.

L- Mid gold, slightly hazy, thin head that holds well.
S- I get fruits, almost a very gentle whiff of orange.
T- It's gentle, it's distinctly NOT a currently fashionable hop-bomb of a brew. And employing such subtlety requires skill to arrive at a balanced flavour end point. I think they succeed, it's subtle on taste, and the 5.2% fits in a balanced way into that too.
M- Refreshing, quite light [alc wise]. Leaves the palate zinging-clean.
O-
Bought from a supermarket in west London. BB 03/11/18.
