Draft at Dux de Lux in Queenstown. Pours a gold-amber color with a white head. Aroma of hops, grain, sugar, wheat, and bread. Flavor is grainy, sweet, bitter, and metallic. Probably (as mentioned by TGM) served too cold. Forgettable.

Draught at Dux de Lux, Queenstown. Pours dark golden with a small laced head. Aroma and flavour of biscuit, fruit and hops. Medium bodied with average bitterness.

Draught at the Queenstown brew pub, pours a clear copper with no head. A bland caramal malt aroma. Served far too cold, all that is left is a very grainy malt palate and metal in the bittering finish. The most I can say is that for a NZ draught style, it wasn’t too sweet.

I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon.
Had this one in the Queenstown Dux de Lux. Amber colored brew. Sweet malty and nutty aroma and flavor. Nice hoppy touch.
