As the Staff Brewer for Shady Lady I might be a bit Biased compared to the Previous Review by Laquered Mouse :) .
This beer is experimental and hybrid beer that is marketed primarily to females that could be considered as a replacement for cider,champange, wine or alcopops .
Shady Lady Rose Infused Lager is a very different beer compared to the usual craft beers you will find on BA was designed by the brands owner Lili Chel to be a provocative left of center beverage that pushes the boundaries of what beer is!
A-light gold colour with a clean white head.
S-Turkish Delight and a underlying clean malty lager
T-Very light beer that has predominant Turkish Delight and Musk flavors with with a soft hop free finish.
M-Light Malt Body with a Dry Finish.

Some disclaimers: I won this beer, I did not pay for it. I was going to refuse it as a prize when it was pointed out to me that a) I could give most of the four pack to my brother as a joke present for Xmas and b) I'm compalled to review beers, good and bad, that come my way.
For those who don't know: this is a "rose-infused premium lager beer" designed "due to a lack of options for female beer drinkers". It comes packaged in a fishnet-stocking inspired bottle. Oh god, well, enough of the preamble. I'll have to put it to my lips some time.
As you may be able to tell, I have exceptionally low expectations for this beer, which are not helped by how it looks as it pours out of the glass: a very pale, very light and very insipid carbonated piss colour, with streams of carbonation that just make you think the urine is alive and mutating. Head is non-existent, even despite that bacterial carbonation in the glass. Really, it looks appallingly bad. So pale, so light, so insipid and painful.
The nose is... yep, it's fair to say cataclysmically awful. However, I will give it this: it is genuinely unique, giving a sweaty fermenting rose petal and cheap pot-pourri character, that smells like cheap perfume your grandmother bought in the 1930s, then forgot about, letting it rot and putrify in the bottom of her diseased (and deceased) cat's litterbox for 80 years. *Worse* though, is the fact that under the malingering rose character there are hints of the true crime in the beer: a horribly weak and bleak adjuncty corn and pale grain sweetness, suggesting an appalling base beer. Really, if I feel as though I could give points for uniqueness, I would... no, I really wouldn't.
The taste is very similar to the nose, although it's probably fair to say that here the base beer comes through more strongly (not that a beer this weak does anything "strongly"), giving a flat corn graininess, with a hint of sickly sweetness. All of this is lathered up like Jerry Sandusky preparing for his next encounter with that horrible rose/perfume/santorum aroma that forces a gag reflex even before you've swallowed it. It's brutal in its nonchalant disregard for taste, refinement or sophistication.
What else can be said? It's appallingly bad, in all respects: cynical marketing, offensive concept, and sickening execution. It has to be regarded as one of the most horrific beer experiments ever to be inflicted upon the Australian beer market.
