[1] Review by vanderla from Sydney, Australia who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/2/2006 4:09:37 AM)
"I love the label.... it's sparked hours (minutes actually) of discussion about the muscular anatomy of the arm. I always thought the bicep was a single muscle, not two...
Anyway...beer....
Spidery lace, head sinks to a respectable centimetre or so, but sinks further, leaving a hub the middle ...
Amber, no haze, a few bubbles.
I'm getting a metallic twang on the nose, but also some burnt-match notes, some stewed vegetables... almost of line-up of the usual suspects of homebrew faults....but, actually, together it's not that bad. Maybe the bottle's a dud....
A strange blend of flavours, some nuttiness, musk-lolly. At the very end I get some green hop.... but not much.
I have some difficulty reconciling my experience with the label description of "gutsy malt flavours, rich hop characters and a refreshing bitter finish".
Quite dry, no residual sweetness, and a bit thin in body... not my cup of tea...."

"the 'worst and cheapest' of the boags range is heavily, HEAVILY hopped to be so bitter and refreshing. it really is a tru tasmanian beer, a cross between an australian bitter and an english bitter."
