330ml bottle into glass. Malty, lightly smoked nose. Pours with an exuberant off-white head with quickly calms down to soapy film. Beer is hazy copper coloured. Medium body with chalky mouth feel, lightly sweet. Finish is sweet with a little bitterness, increasing to a touch of caramel. Nice.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 floydian1 (1217) - FNQ, Australia, - DEC 28, 2014
330ml bottle at home. Copper coloured with a loose transient off-white head. There is a trace of smokiness on the nose and palate which, along with the earthy hops and a nutty caramel malt bill, raises this beer above most other amber ales. Nice one.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20 ShaneJ (756) - AUSTRALIA - SEP 12, 2014
Bottle from brewery (Feb 2014). Clear copper/amber, off white head, sweet caramel malt, noble earthy hops, slightly grainy flavours and a light metallic tang, too light in body, thin texture, a bit watery. Ok.

2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 Niksko (520) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 9, 2014
Clear golden orange with a fine off white head. Nose is slight caramel, lots of grain and a hint of citrus. Flavour is caramel, orange juice, pineapple and a grainy, slightly sour finish. Light body with a slightly watery finish. Fairly bland and boring.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Maris (1204) - Canberra, AUSTRALIA - APR 19, 2013
From a 330ml bottle on 20/4/2013. Pours a cloudy light amber with a very small head. Has a slightly odd basement aroma. The flavour features some muted sweet fruit and some light bready and nutty malt. Little bitterness presents, and the carbonation and body are medium. A bit a nothing beer really and quite disappointing. Red Duck have much better offerings.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 KeefOz (1182) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - JUL 21, 2012
Poured a semi-opaque deep amber colour with a white foamy head that held a while and laced well. High carbonation - lots of bubble trails but these dropped off such that by half way through there were virtually none. Aroma faintly malt but nothing dominating. Taste trace malts, making it a bit sweet. Medium to thin body. Mouthfeel light, smooth and pleasant. Short soft finish. Bit different from other amber ales.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Brenhophead (668) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - MAR 29, 2012
330mL bottle, pours light amber with a soupy head and slight hoppy aroma. Has a nice light malt flavour with a light body. Not the best but easy drinking.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 maneliquor (3479) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - MAR 11, 2012
UPDATED: MAR 29, 2012 Bottle form Mane Liquor. This one is fairly unusual compared to most amber ales Ive had. Cloudy, murky amber pour with a quickly dieing off white head. Nose is full of nuts and dark, dried fruits. Reminds me a lot of an English Old Ale. Dark, dried fruits and biscuit in the taste. Still reminds me of that English Old style. There is a dull nutty/biscuity note right on the finish which is off putting. Not that good at all
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 mickmac (484) - Ngunnawal, AUSTRALIA - DEC 22, 2011
Bottle. Clear nut brown body with a small light brown head. Modest nutty, biscuity aroma and taste with a modest bitter finish. Light bodied.
