“Seabass Mediterranean Lager is a light, dry and clean unfiltered lager. Pouring a pale straw colour, the beer presents subtle spicy & floral flavours from NZ Motueka hops, supported by all Australian barley & wheat. Seabass is the ultimate refresher for any occasion, and is best served with most foods but supports light citrus flavours, salty cheeses and fried foods particularly well.”

Glassware: American pint.

Appearance: 100% transparent pale golden hue with good Co2 activity. It constructs a near two finger head which retains nicely. Blotchy lace as we go.

Aroma: We’re certainly getting a new world vibe from it. Bold citrus overtones with a distinct evergreen and lush rainforest character. Also displaying notable scents of white pepper, unripened pineapple, candied lime and cereal grains. Maybe just the slightest hint of rice crackers and honey in the background.

Flavour: Super crushable. It takes on more of the traditional Lager qualities here i.e less fruit and green herbal notes and more earthiness, wheat grains, vegetals (corn, cauliflower, DMS etc) and pepper. In saying that, we can still detect a discernible citrusy undertone which lingers from start to finish.

Mouthfeel: Light on, mild-moderate body. A bit flatter than we’d anticipated though. The 4.2% ABV is bang on where we wanted it to be.

Overall: We’ve known about this beer for like 10 years. Don’t know what it is about the Yulli’s brand but we’ve never liked it. This is coming purely from an aesthetic angle mind you. The contents are good but nothing to write home about. And what’s with naming it a “Mediterranean Lager”??…there’s nothing Mediterranean about it
