I like the label, but I've always had a soft spot for thylacines. This Tasmanian lager pours a clear honey-yellow with golden edges and a clingy, tight soft-white head. Smells of ripe, hops (almost pungeant, sea-air, Saaz-ish, but not quite), over a honey-soaked bed of fruity malt. Pungeant, striking hop flavor up front. Resinous and herbal. Light Euro-hop skunk, but not too bad. Solid malt backbone comes out in the finish. LIghtly buttered bread with a hint of fruit. Not a bad lager, but needs a little work. Light-bodied with adequate carbonation. I've had much worse Aussie beers.

From bottle, Pours clear orange amber with a minimal shortlived white head. Aroma is fruity, slightly malty, hay and sweetish. Flavour is malty, bitter, fruity and citric.

Bottle: brown 375mL bottle, reasonable label for a macro.
Appearance: pours a decent bright amber-gold colour with plenty of visible carbonation per the style. A white head pops up and fizzles away quite slowly to leave a solid cap after a few minutes.
Aroma: the aroma is grass hops and bread malts, some citrus there too. Pretty good for a lager - more like a Czech Pilsner.
Taste: falls away a bit here, but still decent. Just a standard American Adjunct lager - a bit bland, but refreshing served chilled.
Aftertaste: follows pretty closely - drops away pretty quickly per the style. Makes it easy drinking on a hot day.
Mouth feel: lighter in body with a higher carbonation - very refreshing.
Overall: better than your average lager, but not by much. Has the same refreshing feel on a hot day, but has a touch more lemon and grass citrus than usual. A good fit on the 'slightly premium' shelf.

A: Pours a golden color with a fair head that fades to bits of lacing.
S: Aroma is a bit on the mild side with bit of hops, malt sweetness and bit of grain in the background.
T: Taste is also on the mild side with a light malt sweetness. Mild bitterness and a clean finish.
F: Fairly light body, crisp smooth and refreshing.
O: Drinkable Euro Lager. Goes best with meals.

A: Crystal clear like apple cider, lots of bubbles coming to a pure white, one finger head
S: Grassy, like old wet hay or rotting vegetables. Bubbles tickle the nose and it is served so drastically cold that I really can't smell much beyond the area around me. Does glass smell?
T: Carbonation masks and then coldness freezes, malts are chewy and heavy while flavors are as they smelled: last season compost. There is a definite metallic taste that could be from my glass but other gassy off notes and a sad corn syrup sweetness.
M: Dry, light body
O: In a landscape where American adjunct lagers still reign on high Cascade does a great job of keeping up the pace. It is great if you are looking for a beer that was blindly consumed by the post war crowd. I would say for sure it is "clean, crisp and refreshing." But then so is water.
