Tasted 01/01/2005. 330ml bottle from Paramount Theatre, Wellington.
Gold. Bright. Off-white head, disappears quickly. Aroma is musty, not very fresh. Ginger dominates with brown sugar and a touch of pepper. There is another sweetness on the nose that I can’t place, more fruity than honey. Dry flavour, again musty, with some sugary sweetness and spice in the middle. Very short. Lightweight and spirtzy. Interesting beer but slightly missed the mark.

Feb 13, 2008 (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

May 10, 2007 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.

does not count  Nov 27, 2006 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.

Feb 9, 2006 <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.
