This is some cloudy yet memorable experience. Tastebuds, frolock. Good outlandish taste. Different from any other aussie crapola offering. I like!

A superb flavour-rich beer. The only problem is it’s intensity. After the 3rd pint I usually have to migrate to a less flavoursome beer!

By far my favourite Australian beer. Strong and smooth, and the sediment adds to the effect.
