TheGrandMaster (2313) - Auckland, - FEB 14, 2010
Draught at the brewpub, a light copper-brown. Toasted malt, nearing on burnished. The fruit just lurks in the background. Easily the pick of the range.

nate2g (1548) - Marlborough, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 11, 2009
Draught at 4 Pines Brewpub, Manly. Pours amber with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of toasted malt, caramel and fruit. Medium bodied and soft carbonation. This beer was the standout on the day, an OK bitter overall.

bluevegie (2923) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - MAY 18, 2009
Amber bronze body, same head as the rest. Malt coming through better, notes of caramel on the aroma (warm), some dried fruits in the taste. This was probably the pick of the 6 beers that I tried at this brewpub.
