Apr 18, 2007 Tasted 18/04/2007. 330ml bottle from Roti Chenai.
Slightly stale malts and sugary nose. A touch of fruity NZ hops, probably one of the Hallertau derivatives I guess. Deepish hued bright gold, with a white head that tries to persist. Fairly weighty in the mouth, sweet malts - lager malt, a little cara and slightly sugary. Almost no discernible hop character in the mouth. and an off-dry finish. I’d imagine a very fresh example could be an ok tasting macro lager. More character than most.

Mar 22, 2007 330ml ’special’ of the father-in-law. Bright golden, vigorus white head but clears quickly. Quite sweet, floral soft biscuits with caramel. Sweet malt no hops and anything but dry. When I was young I thought this was quite a cool sophisticated drink. Funny how times change!

Jan 18, 2005 This was bizarre... what the hell was that??? Looked like Coopers, smelt like Little Creatures on acid and tasted like a syrupy cough medicine. I rated it higher for being different. I think i liked it ... sort of.

Jan 17, 2005 Pours with a skinny head that quickly bids farewell. A clear, flat-looking gold lager. Uninspiring. Some bubble gum and honey in an elusively light hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied and sweet on the tongue with an unpleasant chalky, dry finish. Spoiled by the nasty finish, which verges on astringent.
