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!

The best tasting beer around. The only drawback is that if you need to wake up healthy the next morning, you need to stop at three stubbies.
