Gold colour, good white head & bubbles.
Lifted grain/flour aroma, subtle metallic notes of the hops.
Crisp Euro lager flavour (which, I believe, is a more appropriate category for this beer). Good Tassie hop flavour, hint of sulfur.
Balance is good; chewy malt up front, which "crisps" nicely, with a nice bitterness bringing it together.
This has always been my restaurant pre-dinner beer of choice. Always a good competition between it and it's main rival, Boag's.

3.25/5  rDev +19.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25
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.

look: 3 | smell: 2 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 2
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.
