This pours a very pale straw colour with slight haze and a sma, short lasting white head.

Mild sweet malt aroma.

Crisp and smooth malt with a mild Galaxy hop flavour. Good.

Medium light body with moderately-high carbonation.

A decent lager with good flavour.

Pours a pale golden colour with opaque fuzzy haze through it. Slow bead trickling up to a very small, white lacklustre head. Lace is bubbly and thin but pretty nice. A bit odd, but good.

Nose is extremely fruity. Huge pineapple with banana and pawpaw, slight caramelised tinge to all this wonderful tropical flavour. Slight peppery spice at the back as well. Sweetness is not overblown, just tasty and enticing.

Taste is fairly fruity as well; lots of banana and slight lemon flavour with some pawpaw as well. Hops come late-mid, quite earthy with slight soapiness as well. Not the cleanest finish I've had (and yes, I'm aware of the irony of calling a soapy finish not clean). Some slight tart notes are not bad but just not a fan of that soapy flavour. Could use more fruit on it, really.

Lots of texture to it, quite a good body. Carbonation tingle is there, but not harsh.

Yeah if finish were cleaner, this would be a cracker. Still very drinkable and enjoyable.
