Pours a nice, rich golden colour. Head is mostly gone, if it was there at all. Lacing is thin, fairly slippery. Looks like a standard bitter, only without the head.

Nose is pretty subdued. Some malt giving off English toffee, with some mild caramel notes and a hint of spicy hop. Slight tea character and a fair amount of grassiness. Pretty dull nose, not much to it.

Taste is kind of light toffee with a lot of cereal character. Hints of pearl barley, oats, and some pecan nuttiness come through. Not a lot of pronounced hop notes but bitterness is sustained nicely, sort of floats to the surface with grass and herbal tea characters. Pretty plain overall, and maltiness goes on a bit too long, really needs more hops to leap in and rescue the palate, just clip it off and cleanse the palate.

A bit foamy on the feel, not a bad body, decently thick. Quite smooth going down.

A mild ale, not a great one. Possibly good as a cleanser, but can't see anything else this would be good for. Certainly not very good for tasting.

On tap at the Local Taphouse's ANZAC Day SpecTapular.

Pours a seemingly uncarbonated and headless murky amber colour. I don't have a huge amount of love for all those adjectives I just used. Overall it looks a bit insipid and joyless.

Very little on the nose a slightly oily metallic character, like a barrel of light sweet crude. A little grain, but really very little. Not a lot, can't say I'm terribly impressed.

Taste is a little better, some banana phenols with a grainy note like breadcrusts. Not a huge amount, even still and it feels a bit stale and timid. Mouthfeel is fine, some slight carbonation in an otherwise smooth beer.

Not a great fan overall. It's drinkable enough, but not particularly interesting.
