UPDATED: SEP 7, 2021 Easy drinking ale. Familiar Aussie lagery flavour.. (carlton dry, vb). Decent and moreish.

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2021 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear amber with a thin beige head. Aroma is malt and toffee. Taste is light sweet, malt and toffee. Light bitter finish. Very light bodied. A new NZ region tick, nothing more.

UPDATED: AUG 1, 2021 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe: BB 18th Jan 2022. Drank at home on 1st Aug 2021. Off-white head on an amber body, clean and clear looking. Malty nose and taste, caramel to the fore, so pretty sweet. This was the best of my three beers from Oceania in my little tasting (the other two being Toohey's Extra Dry and Carlton Cold).

UPDATED: JUL 12, 2021 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a clear dark amber/brown with small off-white head, decent retention and lacing. Aroma is malts with toffee and dough. Taste is sweet malts, toffee, grass, pleasant but a bit thin. Light to medium bodied. I quite enjoyed it.

UPDATED: JUL 26, 2020 330ml bottle – Pours a dark toffee amber colour with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is malty, some caramel and grassy hop notes. A moderately sweet taste, lager malt, caramel and grassy but not much bitterness.

UPDATED: JAN 12, 2020 Bottled, 330ml from Beers of Europe, Kings Lynn, Norfolk. Gold to amber with white head. There is a blandish malty sweetness to this from the start, some toffee notes, some flowery honeyed characteristics. There is a light, fruity apple note, again quite sweet. The whole remains fairly bland throughout. Just okay.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2019 Aroma: Medium-light honey, dough, bread. Appearance: Brilliant, copper body Small, off-white head. Small bubbles. Flavour: Medium-light floral, dough, Medium-light bitterness. Dry finish Mouthfeel: Medium-light body, Medium carbonation. Overall: Yeasty flavour, but enjoyable and refreshing. 330 ml can, poured.

UPDATED: DEC 5, 2019 Draft @ Last Post, Oamaru. Murky amber, almost clear. Crisp malty, apple, bready, light bitter. Light bodied, medium carbonation.

UPDATED: SEP 21, 2019 Artillery shell-shaped 745 mL bottle. Not a mL more, not a mL less. Serviceable label. Intense burnt orange, clear, pour with a small webby head. Grassy, slightly tannic and toasted aroma with some off notes. Toasted cereal flavor, low bittering. A clingy and mildly unpleasant finish. I'd put this in the class of Foster's Bitter or something like that. Slightly better than a pisswater lager, but not by much. Bottle, Auckland.

UPDATED: AUG 17, 2019 Bad foam and darker gold, stinks of corrugated cardboard and rotting cabbage and a hint of caramel. Inoffensive flavour, wet rye bread soaked in sugar. Kind of watery. Poor and ugly for a beer, low rent might be the best thing you can say about it.
