Like markus 101 from Dakota said a watery veersion of a great style. I did enjoy it but not quite the fantastic drink I found in the States. Don’t know enough to comment in any other way. definatly drink it again.

Decent gold colour. Thin, clingy head. Slightly sweet perhaps floralish aroma? Reasonable up-front bitterness, drying towards the end. For a ’commercial’ as opposed to ’craft’ offering I don’t find it to bad. Would drink it as opposed to the ’green bottle’ imports in the same price bracket

With the plethora of pale ales doing the rounds everywhere you expect something better than this. The reality check is when you see the stablemates of this beer. It does taste a bit like beer I suppose.

330mL bottle, Wellington, New Zealand. Deep golden colour, almost amber. Light head that quickly disappears. Faint hop aroma. Light body, thin texture and soft carbonation. Overall a watery version of great style.
