Being produced in NSW wine country, this beer brings the expertise and experience of Australian wine making to the beer market.

Loved it, full of flavor, goes down real well, can’t get enough of it, worth paying the price of it as it is expensive to most other local beers.

I love this beer. They have it on tap at my local. Refreshing, tasty and no after-taste bitterness. Thumbs up.

It sounds like the judges have sampled an infected batch, this has a nice balance of malt and hops, it is definitely one of my favourites.

Sounds like you need new tasters, average people, not professionals. I love it and have drunk it for about the past 5 or 6 years.
