Brewed for the Great Australasian Beer Spectapular in Melbourne, May 2013. Tasted and reviewed on tap there.

Pours a straw colour, reasonably cloudy. Head is white, foamy, sticking around alright. Quite pale for the style but not bad otherwise.

Smells grainy, with a touch of rye spice but mostly some light cereal notes. Touch of caramel as well and a fair bit of dry peppery spice. Mostly cereal though.

Taste has a similar base with a fairly sweet residual malt flavour. Twist of rye spice on the mid-palate and then a citric hop note takes over which balances it alright. Overall still retains a big caramel note and overall it's quite sweet. Lacks some of the grounding that rye and west coast hops would usually provide.

Mouthfeel is a bit thin; body's noticeable but the carbonation comes through fairly strongly.

Decent enough pale. I do think that maybe Moylan's could have done something a bit more extreme for us Aussie yokels.
