Commercial Description:
This refreshing "session" bitter has a gentle smack of Fuggles and Saaz hops on the palate, and a wonderful aroma

On tap in Dunedin. Excellent session bitter. Piney hops with a solid malt backing and medium carbonation. Funkiness of the Saaz was low key. Must be best on draft at the source.

Pint at many and varied, latterly straight from the keg. Typical Kiwi brown to look at. Faint berry dry aroma but such intregue in the mouth for a beer so light. Finally back close to it’s best with a substantial malt change from recent times. NZ’s no1 session drop.

(On tap) Clear, warm, amber golden with an off-white head. Lightly nutty nose. Light-bodied yet still with a fairly solid malt base. Notes of caramel and nuts. Short, dry finish. A neat session Bitter. 240108

I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon. Visited the brewery too.
Bought it from the brewery in a big plastic bottle. Very drinkable bitter.
