3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Sparkling gold. Decent dead retention. Bright white wine aroma has some fruity depth with aromatic, resinous white grapes and flowers. Highly reminiscent of the bouquet on a white wine. Slightly thin of body, but very tasty. Finishes dry and crisp and retains its vineousness. Has a brisk bitterness that signals the loyalty to the style. Very nice.

I originally tried this about a year ago whilst in New Zealand. I was love at first site. It took me a while to track it down but eventually got there...my memory stayed true. Looks great, taste great. The carbonation is perfect also.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
500mL bottle, 4.9% ABV. Pours a clear pale straw colour with a thin white head. Citrusy, extremely grassy and slightly vegetal aroma with some malt in the background. The flavour is acidic, slightly fruity and decently bitter. Average carbonation, light bodied, dry bitter finish with a strange lingering burning sensation.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Really aromatic "New Zealand" Pilsner - aromas of white flowers, grass, hay and a hint of bubble gum.

Thanks to OSLO for sharing. This was stellar. Smooth lager yeast and malts on the aroma with the subtlest floral hints. A very hazy yellow body with wisps of white head. The body followed similar patterns but with a hop flavor not present earlier. A smooth malty finish with a bit of candy sugar.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
[Bottle purchased in Perth, Australia] Pours pale golden with a small off-white head. Aroma is very fruity with a lot of peach, some pineapple and notes of kiwi. Taste has the same fruit profiles, with the perfect amount of bitterness and a crackery malt backbone that balances it well. Medium-thin mouthfeel, smooth, and has a dry finish. From now on, probably will be what I think of when I hear the term session beer. Just all around a great beer and exceeded my expectations.
