COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Castlepoint is situated on the southern East Coast of New Zealand's North Island, in an area best know for isoutstanding fishing and consistently good surf breaks. A favourite of the local surfers is "the gap" suited around 1km from the main beach. CASTLEPOINT BEER, whose name is dedicated to this great NZ location, is just the reward after a day outdoors. We hope you'll enjoy this clasic, full bodied real Kiwi beer.

beerledgend (1050) - Waterloo, Wellington, - APR 4, 2007
Bright ruby red in colour with big spritzy white head. Big malty aroma with slightly grassy hop notes. Malty flavours with mild bitterness. This beer loks good in the glass but is boring and uneventful. Castlepoint, the location, is great.

Tap somewhere in NZ. Pretty awful stuff. Caramel and over ripe fruits. Too much. Not liking this at all

Papsoe (22987) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - FEB 18, 2008
(Bottle 74,5 cl) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving laces. Aroma of caramel and fruit bubblegum. Medium body with light notes of caramel and corn - perhaps even a little sweet fruit. No real bitterness. Classic NZ swill that quenches your thirst without insulting anybody. 110208
