(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pale golden with a tiny, white head. Distinct aroma of ginger. Medium body, lightly sweet notes of orange and again a distinct touch of ginger. Somewhat chemical. Absolutely no bitterness. I have a strong feeling that this could be identical to Harringtons Summer Ale. 050208

Light golden and slightly hazy body with small head. Fruit and ginger in the nose. Taste and aftertaste dominated by ginger.

Copper golden with generous head. Spicy almost nutmeg aroma. Strong ginger palate, a touch of sweet citrus but with an overly dominant malt sweetness. Something different - like a Xmas mince pie in a glass.

For a country that produces such strapping brews, this specimen is New Zealand’s brewing equivalent of the underarm bowl. Save some money by squirting some Glen 20 down your throat.

<i>Bottled.</i> Deep golden, no head. Aroma of lime and cinnamon. Sweet and medium bodied with bold and somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Lemonade and spices dominate completely. Not nice in any way.
