From The Dairy - Yarra Valley.

One of those beers... I could find nothing to recommend serving temp. I imagined Aussie Pale Ale and served at low temp.

Poured a deep amber/ bronze. One finger cream head and moderate lace.

Aromas muted, hops malt in mix but nothing stood out.

Taste essentially was Big malt driven like an American Amber Ale then softened as it warmed, and yep, English bitter here we come. Apricots, marmalades, English hops. Fruity on front palate.
Light carbonated, light to medium bodied.

All in all, a well made ale. Surprise!! Looking at the web since, unsure if this is a re-branded beer.... the packaging is very different.

Serving type: bottle
