Sample from 330 ml bottle, as Crown Lager, at the Brewery International stand, Smak 09. ABV is 4.9%. Golden colour, low head. Fruity aroma. Fairly fruity and zesty flavour, some estery sidenotes, low bitterness. Not a great beer, but drinkable.

Another generic, bland lager. This was about all you could find in the bush country. Nothing special here, worse than average pale lager. Watery, musty, grainy. Give this on a pass.

Format: that nice old crownie 375mL brown bottle with a classy macro label. Always thought it looks pretty decent.

Appearance: poured into a tulip glass - mid-yellow in colour with limited visible carbonation. A very thin white head breaks up to a thin film and ring almost immediately.

Aroma: a sweet aroma of yeasts, grain and some sugar. A bit awkward at best.

Taste: and even more awkward here. Very skunky with a vegetal fug and some cheap adjuncts. I remember Crownies being better.

Aftertaste: some metallic flavours with a touch of grain. Still not brilliant, but at least the vegetal fug backs off.

Mouth feel: quite light in feel - almost watery - with a moderate carbonation.

Overall: an okay Australian macro lager, but really not up to scratch compared to others - even the standard macros. It is only AU$41 a case, but there are better around.

A: pours a somewhat golden color color with a decent head that fades to bits of lacing.

S: Fairly mild aroma of malt sweetness with a bit of grain and trace of citrus.

T: Taste of a bit of citrus with malt sweetness and some grain. Mild bitterness and a clean finish.

F: Light body, bit of crispness and quite smooth. kind of boring.

O: Starndard lager that is non-offensive. Quite bland.
