Davros (2448) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUN 26, 2013
Pours dark amber with a quickly fading head. Nose shows DMS, soft sweet malt, cidery notes and faint nutty malt. Better flavours. More prominent nutty malt and some spicy hops. Still a faint cidery note though. Body feels a bit watery.

Maris (1204) - Canberra, AUSTRALIA - APR 16, 2011
From a 330ml bottle on 16/4/2011. Pours a murky golden orange colour, with lots of yeast sediment floating about. The aroma is fruity and yeasty. Goes down quite nicely, with citrus fruits combining with caramel malt. Has a pretty decent dash of hops at the end. A pretty good English pale.

mkel07 (4417) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - MAY 2, 2010
UPDATED: JUL 30, 2011 330ml bottle. Big fluffy dirty san dcoloured head a top a hazy light copper base. Floral hop aromas and a big bang of flavour hits the mouth, hops again. Balance is spot on and the finish is how you want it.

davidm (1979) - Sunnyvale, California, USA - FEB 20, 2010
Bottle 330ml. Not bad. Aroma is floral, with a hint of caramel. Sweet taste, with light bitterness. Oily palate, and thin-to-medium body. Yellow, with a frothy white head.

Gouldz01 (9) - AUSTRALIA - AUG 4, 2006 does not count
My favourite of the buckleys variety, deep gold appearance with residual cloudyness present. Fruity ale displaying some tart in the finish. Decent.

bluevegie (3069) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - SEP 5, 2005
Original?- maybe ordinary.Straw coloured body, poor head, fruity hop taste but still pretty boring, it is an ale but that is about all, doughy aroma, sour soft grapefruit taste. Looking at previous ratings I must have got a crook batch.

voota (765) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUN 21, 2005
Looks great in the glass, big white head with very good retention and lacing. Small floral aroma. As said before, carbonation is spot on, the dry malty flavours come though nicely, combined with a light bitterness and a very very clean finish. Great hop profile, one of the best Victorian beers i’ve tasted.

Linc (739) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - JUN 15, 2005
Amber colour, light malty aroma with some orange character. Orange zest and grapefruit flavours compliment a light malty palate, a distinct acidity makes for an unusually clean, refreshing finish. A little light on the body but not bad overall.

Stew41 (1811) - Woodend, AUSTRALIA - NOV 12, 2004
UPDATED: OCT 10, 2009 Much better than previous efforts. Genuine english pale ale / bitter traits here with a very good creamy structure. Indeed, had I only smelt and not tasted I would have unreservedly picked this as English. Slighlt metallic ping in the back palate. The best of the house.
