Nice hoppy brew, mild enough for a session. Great BBQ beer.

Nice beer but lacks punch. The appearance is cloudy and the nose fruity. Mouthfeel is pleasant and the beer is quite refreshing. Hoppy finish that stays for a while.

A - Pours a pale straw colour with white frothy head that dissipates slowly to a thin film
S - Lemonade (almost shandy like) on the nose. Light floral, grainy hoppy aromas with a some peach, lemon.
T - Light hoppy, grassy taste, lemon, grapefruit with a bitter finish
M - Light bodied with medium carbonation
O - Light well balanced hoppy beer with a nice slight bitter finish that is delightful on a hot summers day

From Warner's no BB.
A - clear straw, one finger head, good lace.
S - husks, grains, a little malt.
T - light and summery indeed. A quaffer. Almost in macro territory, but saved by light hop presence on back palate. Some doughy malts.
M - very light, moderate carbonation, zingy.
O - easy drinking, not challenging, and as such an odd adder to the Feral range. A cynic might suggest this was added at the behest of the finance dept not the brewing dept.

Bottle: standard 330mL brown bottle, typical Feral Brewing label. So, okay.
Appearance: pours a clear pale straw yellow with fine carbonation. A small white head dissipates quickly to a thin ring.
Aroma: plenty of tropical fruits and some herbal and grassy hops. Not much malt or backbone.
Taste: pretty much follows the nose - plenty of fruit and grassy hops, without much malt. Refreshing to say the least, if a touch one-dimensional.
Aftertaste: some hop bitterness with tropical fruits still hanging about.
Mouth feel: light- to-moderate in body with a moderate carbonation to bring the flavour through.
Overall: another example of a decent but not overwhelming beer from Feral, with a price tag far too high. Quite a refreshing tropical fruit-based beer, but not good enough for the price of AU$88 for a case of 24 x 330mL.

Look: Poured into pint glass, colour poured a 5-7 on the BJCP colour guide, low to moderate carbonation, two finger head that dissipated fairly quickly
Smell: Most notable hoppy piney and citrus notes, pineapple with slight grapefruit, from afar (20-30cm) malty notes
Taste: Low malty sweetness and hop bitterness, moderate hop pine and citrus, very akin to the smell, but a little sweeter
Feel: Smooth, very slightly creamy, but carbonation plays a big part on the tongut
Overall: Decent beer, more like an APA than a blonde, would easily buy again

Pours gold with a small head.
Nose shows grassy and spicy hops, soft light malt and hay.
Similar flavours with the same spicy hop notes and some light sweet pilsner-like malt followed by an assertive bitterness.
Nice moderately light body, could use a bit more carbonation though.
