This is the weirdest colour. Most lagers have some hint of gold or amber. But this is a fawny light brown straw....with almost a pink blush in it. Good white head, and bubbles.
Green, vegetal hop aroma... maybe a touch of green mango but a slight hint of dry sherry. I think this bottle may be slightly oxidised.
Good hoppy flavour, and some toasty malt notes. An interesting nutty flavour backs it up, perhaps supporting my oxidation theory.
Lightly bittered.
After a second bottle, I am definitely picking up a dry sherry flavour (nutty, slightly rancid).
All up not a bad tasting beer, just a bit disconcerting. I've had a lot worse.

Murky with bugger all lace and aweak head
Honey smells , very similar to their "Premium Lager",but probably more tending to rancid.
No honey flavours here , just a bit of watery bitter ginger with a dollop of sourness
Watery mouthfeel , cant feel any sensation of carbonation.
This equates to a home brew kit beer made by a novice.
Sadly I think that this Company is the worst non mainstream brewery in Australia
The label bangs on about the German Purity Laws.These guys should be convicted
