On-tap at the Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst for the Kiwi SpecTapular.
Pours a pale golden colour, with a slight tropical haze like a splash of guava juice. Head is fine, but dissipates to a film pretty quickly. Solid body, but almost no noticeable carbonation. Very fine and firm head however. Overall, it looks decent.
Nose is grainy and a bit nutty, giving some husky notes and minimal hop character. A little rustic and dusty, with some earthy characters. Not bad, but could really use a little extra hop character; a little crispness.
Similar on the palate. Husky and grainy, with a little earth and a touch of homely bitterness. It's pretty light on otherwise, and missing a fair whack of everything else. Oddly, there's a touch of carbonic acidity to it, which is odd given the lack of visible carbonation.
Feel is smooth enough, but a little flat. There's the missing carbonation.
Drinkable enough. It's smooth and light. It's just not very interesting.

Pours a metallic-sheened golden colour. Head is lacklustre. Lace unimpressive, but present. Looks OK.
Smacks of grain, really. Lots of barley with a touch of cinnamon, raising toast even, and maybe some light citrus. Not much, a bit meh.
Taste is very grainy, with cereal notes, rice, corn and a touch of vanilla. Some milk notes, caramel. Not much hop, but finishes with a bit of bitterness. No distinct flavour, just slightly bitter. Yeah, nothing wrong here, I'm just not really liking it much.
A bit thin on the palate but a smooth drop, goes down nicely.
Yeah, not much to this beer. It's not at all the best pale I've had. I know it's not trying to be, but whatever it is trying to be, it's just not.
