Lager = tasteless. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. I was just disappointed I had to get through the whole pint.

On tap @Dux Live. Golden colour, with a small head. Malt and hop flavour, quite complex. Medium-strong bitterness

Clean and light, this was not a bad brew, but very unoffensive to anyone. Easy drinking brew, but not much imagination.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw, leading to a lightly bitter finish.

Aroma: slightly hoppy, hint of spruce, grass. Appearance: pale, hazy, frothy head, good lacing lasted the duration. Taste: no trace of sweetness or sour, heavy bitterness and hoppy. More of a pale ale than a lager. Palate: medium body with slightly creamy texture, no fizz and clean finish Overall: Very nice. Not at all complicated but still a definitive beer.

Draft at Dux de Lux in Queenstown. This was the last DDL beer I tried, for a total of 8 between the two brewpubs. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Aroma and of straw, hops, citrus, grain, and corn. Malty, citrusy flavor. Pretty good for a lager, as I’ve found a lot of NZ lagers to be.

Draught at Dux de Lux, Queenstown. Pours clear golden with a diminished white head. Smooth crisp malt flavour with citrus tones. Mild bitterness with a thin, crisp finish.

Pours clear gold with a white head that diminishes quickly. Has a mildly ginger, orange nose. Grassy hops, some floral notes. Rather plain flavours... A nice hoppy bitterness, hints of straw malt and some ginger. Alcohol is surprisingly obvious... Boring, but nice and bitter.

On tap 01.05.09 at the Dux de Lux in Christchurch. Clear gold with white head. Aroma is corn, and some bitter hops. Flavor is corn, malt, watery.

Bottle, pours a crystal clear dark gold, some bubbles and a pillowy white head. A rather non-descript bready malt on the nose. An over-complicated palate for my mind - bready, sweet malt and dry metallic, hops compete. There is a floweryness thrown in their too. More flavoursome than most lagers dare, but I struggled to enjoy this.

Good standard lager yellow, firm decent head. Flowery, slight dusty aroma. Nice fresh grainy flavours come through along with grassy hop notes. Nothing better ice cold on a sunny Sunday afternoon in the Dux courtyard.
