McLaren Vale Dry

Bugger, bought this pretty much by accident trying to get some of McLaren's other stuff on here.

4.5%, "australian dry lager", pithy insubstantial head, very light. Minimal aroma. Not motivating. In terms of taste it's a bit better than the preamble would lead you to expect - there's a little bit of sweetness there backed by malts. Kind of apple like tastes.

Not a great deal of complexity, though that clearly wasn't the aim here and I don't want to line this up on purpose just to smash it. I'll rate it not bad as a sort of a gateway lager conversion tool.. still miles behind Knappstein and the like though. 4.5
