Alc %:7

Country:Australia

Where/When:Home, March 2012

Rating:7.5

Lovely white fluffy head that disappears and leaves lacing. A nice copper orange colour.
A really nice floral aroma with a pleasant resiny note- it's begging to be drunk!
The nose is reflective of the flavour but it doesn't quite reach the heights it promises- it's quite sweet and syrupy - the wheatyness is very low key- not getting banana noticeably, nor clove or coriander. Maybe their is a hint of lemon. The hops give a nice hit. Not overpowering.
All the same, since I have a sweet tooth I find it quite enjoyable. Yet not alot to it in terms of complexity of flavour.
Seen this around a bit and will probably miss it when it's all gone. Well done for a fairly large brewery.
