COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
MANUKA is a golden coloured ale edged with the distinctive taste and fresh clean bite of native Manuka honey. This beer is hopped to impart a hint of cinnamon-like spice giving a complimentary balance of flavours.

Dark orange in colour with big white head. No real aoma, was expecting honey. dissapointed. Also no honey flavour that I would have expected with a name "manuka". Thin and uninteresting.

yalnikim (800) - Wellington, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 16, 2006
Tasted 12/08/2006. 330ml bottle from HoneyCo, Wellington. Rose gold, off-white head disappears immediately. Slightly stale on the nose with hint of sweet malt and some honey-like volatile esters. Dry and cidery in the mouth, with more honey notes and a rubbery flavour hinting at a touch of autolysis. Little bitterness but a sharp carbonic bite and a light astringency. Lightweight. I didn’t make it all the way through.
