On tap into a pint glass. L. Golden, slightly hazy with a dense, white head to about 1 cm that fades to some froth and lacing. S. Not a lot, faint grain, fruit. T. Mild, grainy upfront with a fruitier hop back end. Not over hopped, and a nice easy to drink balance. F. Light, crisp, easy to drink. O. Solid, although hoppier than traditional pilseners. That's just the craft beer obsession.

Listed on the "1001," I'm hoping other Aussie lagers can take its place by now.
Reviewed in Roger Protz's CAMRA classic "300 Beers To Try Before You Die!"
MJ's 1999 "Guide" gave it 2.5 stars of 4 calling it "firm but light and crisp, with an appetizingly dry finish."
That is a better review than I can give it.

Bottle from Woolworth's. From notes.
A - Poured golden, bright, and effervescent. Film of white head on top leaving spotty lace and no retention.
S - Corny, lagery, light noble
T - Mild noble hop, sweet grain.
M - Strong carbonation, light to medium body and a crisp finish.
O/D - Plain. Not a great lager. Slightly better than a regular lager. Pretty ordinary.
