3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This beer was slightly cloudy with a pale orange amber brown colour. The aroma had crisp orange citrus fruit. There were clean fruity hop flavours, and quite strong bitterness. This was a very crisp fruity style.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Often tasted, finally rated. Light golden, full white head. Grassy, slightly bready and earthy aroma. Touch of fruits but slight hints of sulphur too. Nice cleansing full mouthfeel, citrus, grassy a touch winey with a decent crisp bitter finish - many things rolled in to one. The brewers flagship beer and fair enough
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle@Taieri Gorge Railway, Dunedin. Golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is mellow, vinous, fruity and dry, and the flavour is very bitter and hopped. Overall an average strong tasting pilsner.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: SEP 17, 2009 Pours slightly cloudy gold with about 1 cm of lingering head. Greeted with strong passionfruit armoas. Bittersweet on the tongue, passionfruit/apricot flavours stay strong to the very last drop. Excellent Pilsner.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Truely glorious. A head of epic proportion. Balanced citrus and ale flavours. Not sure where the pils was though. Brilliant.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottled: Slightly hazy gold with a small lingering head + some lacing. Big fruity aroma - passionfruit/apricot/lychee. Smoothly malty and fruity. In fact the fruitiness lasts right up to the bitter finish. I ’d been looking foward to trying this for ages and am relieved to find that its good - quite good indeed.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled. Many Thanks to Phil_L for this. A hazy blonde coloured beer with a huge Duvel like white head. The aroma is very hoppy. Tropical fruit and lemon. A tiny touch of acidity peeps out from the background. Lovely hoppy flavours also. Big hits of lemon, and juicy oranges. Especially full bodied for a light lager. A wonderful pilsener. Why can’t our brewers produce something this good?
