Feb 7, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Clear, golden with a white head. Light aroma of floral hops. Medium body with a fairly clean malt base and a dry, hoppy finish. Not exactly thrilling but fairly clean and more regular than your typical Kiwi lager. 280108

May 2, 2009 Bottle. Clear yellow gold, white foamy head. First aroma to greet the nose unfortunately is a strong metallic note, like you’re sniffing the cap instead of the brew. That metallic aroma also is present on the palate, competing with the grainy aroma, and a slight sourish note. Quick finish. My least favourite of the Aotearoa brews.

Feb 19, 2008 Bottle, poured a hazy dark gold with a filmy head. A fairly typical sweet caramal aroma with a touch of hops. A very dry palate, with a full malt body which is just a little grainy.

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle - 330ml. Blond body with good carbonation and a diminishing white bubbly head. Its corny/malty aroma carries some metallic hints. Malty/hoppy taste with some unpleasant corny, metallic and CO2 notes. Ends with a short bitter finish. Not impressed.
