[1] Review by vanderla from Sydney, Australia who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/2/2006 3:47:45 AM)
"Yellow gold. Thick head, some sparkle in the body. Fades to a ring, but leaves a fair lace.
Nice malty nose mixed with grassy hop and a grainy note. However, towards the end of the bottle, the nose tends to lend itself to fruit, almost sauv blanc-ish...
The taste screams of Pride of Ringwood.... the workhouse of Aussie beers far & wide. Maybe I'm wrong... but I'm certainly having flashbacks of sneaking into pubs before I was of age (I am not condoning such behaviour, kids).
Again, a grainy, almost corn-like hint on the palate....
Nice mouthfeel, medium bodied. It has a refreshing bitterness, which, for mine, makes this an excellent "cleanser".
Mind you, I didn't know that the "English Pale Ale" category included Aussie Lager-clones. Perhaps the late-bottle, fruity nose may lean it towards an ale, but if I was blindfolded, I would swear this was a lager.

[2] Review by fuzzy from Perth, Australia who has tried this beer a couple times. (11/12/2002 8:18:40 AM)
"A good drop from the Tasmanians. Cloudy on appearance
as a good pale ale is, sweet almost fruity on the tongue.
Slightly chemcially towards the end but a top beer, a little
bit pricey but Cascade should be . "
