From Leura. No BB.
A - deep gold, pillowy two finger head. Minimal lacing.
S - Belgian yeast, lemons / lemongrass
T - complex, subtle and mellow. The smell is quite definite, the taste is not. Lemons mainly, but the yeast is also there. Buttery notes grow, and an odd stale-type taste which is at odds with the overall freshness of the plate.
M - par for course for 5%, medium weight, light carbonation.
O - a different take on style. I, like the previous reviewer, struggle to categorise it.

500ml brown bottle. A hoppy golden ale, brewed with German and Japanese (read Sorachi Ace) hops, and fermented with Belgian yeast. Hard to know how to classify this. Purchased from Slowbeer in Melbourne by Sarah.
Pours a slightly deep golden colour, slightly hazed, with a fine white head across the top of the glass. Minimal lacing, and not much carbonation. Body is about what you'd expect for 4.9% ABV.
Nose is definitely heavy on the Sorachi Ace, giving a slightly lemony sweet-savoury character that suggests wood, herbs and a light meatiness. There are some rounded Belgian yeast tones which come through as well, but they're at least supported by the Sorachi. Under it is a pretty mild pale ale. Not much in the way of sweetness. The aromas are pleasant at least, and do something noticeably different to anything else you'd likely find under the moniker "Golden Ale".
Taste is similar. Sorachi is again prominent, giving a strangely sweet, oaky character, while the body stays pretty clear, flat and neutral. It's clean at least, and while the Sorachi Ace provides the bulk of the flavour, it certainly doesn't become overpowering. Buttery notes on the back become cleansed by a fine carbonation. Feel is very light and sparkling with a fine carbonation.
Pretty drinkable. I like the hop they've showcased here, even though it can easily get out of control—here it's pretty well constrained, and even though it does end up being a very Sorachi-heavy brew, it's still maintains a good level of drinkability. And I like the fact that Dainton have here done something to separate themselves from any other "golden ale" available on the Australian market.
