Commercial Description:
Monsoon is the outcome of a collaboration between India born Sukhi Gill and West Coaster John Harrington. Sukhi founded New Zealands first Little India resturant in July 1991, the same month and year that John established his boutique brewery. They have each received industry accolades that are clear testimony to their passion for quality and desire to satisfy their customers tatses. Monsoon is carefully crafted to complement Little India cusine.

Had slightly cloudy amber orange colour, and moderate head. Light crisp citrus hoppy aroma. Taste had light malt, slightly spicy, and bitter hoppy finish. A light crisp clean style but with quite simple flavours.

Bottle, pours a clear and carbonated amber with a foamy white head that can’t quite hold on. Sweet malty aroma with touches of citrus. A yeasty flowery quality to the malty palate. The finish is short and only slightly dry. Overall, a bit thin and bland.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear golden with a bubbly, white and creamy head. Fairly clean and malty nose. Medium body, fairly solid and clean malt base with a whiff of flowers. Hoppy note in the finish that also shows some alcohol. A fairly decent Harringtons. 210208

640ml bottle bb 28/09/07 Pours a relatively clear pale gold, thin head latterly clinging to rim of glass only. Dusty, earthy/herbal aroma reminisant of other Indian style beers I’ve tried. Reasonable hop dryness increases thru the palate. Not sure if it would calm a wild Vindaloo but I enjoyed it all the same.
