This is the second beer I've tried from McLaren Vale breweries, the first being a Pale Ale. From memory it didn't blow me away but was a solid beer. I wasn't expecting heaps from the lager, but just happened to be the one I reached for when I opened the fridge this evening.
The main word I'll use to describe this beer is balance. From the light hops to deeper malts to dry bitter finish, everything is subtle but very well balanced.
The labelling is basic, there's no marketing wank on the bottle, it just puts it's head down and does it's job without any fanfare. The one that flies under the radar. The quiet achiever.
It's one of the better lagers I've drunk, not adventerous enough to be elite but it's pretty good.
7/10
