🌍 Australia · Australian Lager · One of 6 Australian Lagers in hopIQ

A limited draught-style lager brewed in March 2026 for Alex Johnston, the record try scorer of the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Flex and Topaz hops over pale, wheat and Dexter malt give a clean, crisp beer with a smooth malt profile and a light stone fruit note from the Topaz. At 4 per cent and 15 IBU the bitterness stays balanced and the finish is short and dry.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for AJ213

Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A fine white head forms readily and maintains good retention with delicate lacing down the glass. Carbonation is evident and lively throughout.

pale goldencrystal clearfine white headbright carbonation

Aroma

Clean, grassy hop character leads the nose, with Flex and Topaz contributing subtle herbal and floral notes. Beneath lies a soft malt foundation—pale and wheat notes blend with faint stone fruit aromatics, particularly peach. The overall impression is restrained and inviting rather than assertive.

Taste

The palate opens crisp and clean, with the malt bill creating a smooth, slightly sweet entry that avoids any harshness. Pale and wheat malts layer soft cereal notes, while Topaz hops add a gentle stone fruit dimension. At 15 IBU, bitterness remains restrained and well-integrated, never dominating the balanced middle.

Finish

The finish is short and decisively dry, with lingering peach notes fading quickly into a clean aftertaste. No residual sweetness persists.
