I will do my best to reconcile the averageness of this beer with its meeting the guidelines for the style.
Pours crystal clear. Appropriate pale straw colour with a fluffy white head. Poor head retention but some nice lacing.
Slight grainy aroma with a hint of sweetness. Some acetaldehyde and low diacetyl. Mostly clean but uninspiring. No hops.
Slightly sweet flavour with no real hop character. A touch grainy. A hint of fruity green apple (acetaldehyde) is here. Dry finish and slightly metallic.
Light, crisp and clean. The dryness is appropriate to style and isn't over the top.
A drinkable beer but mostly because it is like water. A decent alternative to macros and beer that ticks most of the boxes for the style.

Drank this at Bar on Gouger in Adelaide.
My view is that it's a reasonable alternative to Aussie macros.
Has some angular elements that could be smoothed over I guess.
jarmby1711 quotes ginger... I take his point. I also noticed honey, almost as if it's a post-ferment adjunct.
Sweetly refreshing, but not remarkable.
Trouble is it's being served in a bar that has 150+ other beers available. There was no going back, I'm afraid.

Crystal clear , so much so it is almost reflective.Mid to dark gold, a small head that stayed the distance with aminimal but persistent bead.
There was a gingery smell to the beer.
There is a flavour like golden syrup underpinningthe dull malt flavours , with a hint of that ginger in there.
The bitterness is all senstaion and no flavour.
The overcarbonation overrides a dull mouthfeel.
This is a cheaply priced local brew .The gingernes adds a little interest but it is a fairly average offering.
