Wollongong is known for its sunny skies and sandy beaches, but somehow this beer gives vibes of a crisp and cold mountain stream birthed from melting snow.
Ultra pale and clear as a well-made cider, Lunchbox Lager is clean, clean, clean. There’s a hint of grain on the nose alongside some citrusy notes from the Eclipse hops, but don’t come here for the flavour; drinking this beer is more akin to inhaling a huge lungful of fresh air.
The head dissipates quickly, but interestingly the entire beer also disappears quickly. Someone should look into that.
