Roadie Draught

Australia·Australian Lager
Tap to rate

Roadie Draught started as a keg beer poured in pubs and venues around Australia before Moon Dog also bottled it. It is a straightforward Australian draught lager at 4.0 percent. It pours clear and pale straw, with a subtle aroma of fresh grain and a light floral note from Australian hops. A smooth, light malt body is balanced by a clean, crisp bitterness, and the finish is dry and refreshing.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, smooth malt body that carries gentle sweetness without heaviness. Mid-palate bitterness builds gradually, clean and balanced rather than aggressive, finishing with a dry quality that never becomes harsh. The overall impression is one of straightforward drinkability and balance.
