Skunky aroma put me off at first but once you get past that the flavor is not too bad. Smooth and refreshing. Nothing special but would go down easy on a hot summer day.

This is a very refreshing beer on a hot summer's day. It's smooth, easy on the taste buds, and leaves very little aftertaste. This is a very drinkable beer, though nothing overly special. It's much better than the "popular" beers that you can get anywhere.

Served in a 400ml.(?) tumbler. Pale gold colour, barely any head and a mediocre, grassy flavour and aroma. Not bad for NZ$2.2? per 500ml. can but hardly worth hunting down.

I drank this one right off the can. Yeah, i know, i know, shame on me. But from what I tasted this was overall a good beer. Golden color, fruits in the aroma (orange?)and really smooth to drink. Simple and honest.

Almost the only dryer style i can drink and enjoy but i love this. Dry, grassy, pure and clean. Big Aroma, smooth finish. Great to fit 3 stubbies in a stein and enjoy.

Aroma was kinda spicy hops with a bit of formaldehyde. Yellow heading toward orange and fairly clear. Flavour was a little bit bland with a stale wheat flavour that I believe matches the formaldehyde in the aroma. Thin and bubbly. Overall it was drinkable but can't have too many of these in a row.

Sharp fruity and hoppy (saaz?) aroma. Thin body and not really assurtive enough with hops to be a decent beer.

This beer has a light yellow body - hue with a weak initial flavor and a light body.

Not one of my favourites I must say. There's something about the taste I do not like and it gets flat in a heartbeat.

TAP. Golden color with a moderate off white head. Light pale malts dominate the nose with hints of hops. Somewhat grainy and sticky. Somewhat typical import.
