I’m not really a lager drinker, but this is an excellent example. Very well made and how (in my opinion) a lager should be.

Tasted 05/03/2006. 500ml bottle from Rumble’s, Wellington. Pours a very pale straw-gold, almost green-hued, that hints of wheat malt. Thin white head diminishes quickly but leaves a thick lacing. Lines of tiny effervescent tiny bubbles trail up the side of the glass. First sniff reveals a minerally lager yeast. The nose then opens up into a lovely hop dominated bouquet of passionfruit and lychees, with a faint, underlying, grainy sweetness. Mildly sweet lager malt hits the mouth first and lingers all the way through. It’s followed closely by more of the hop hits - more tropical fruit, with a citrus edge, and a cedary bitterness through the middle to the clean finish. Some slight yeasty notes near the end are the only negative but these are very faint. Medium weight and carbonation lead to a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Superb balance. This lager is right up there with Emerson’s Pilsner. I’d certainly love to try it on cask.

Bottled. Golden beer with a medium white head leaving nice lacings. Nice, fruity, piney, citric aroma with some maltiness. Flavor is malty and citric fruity with a nice bitterness. Medium body and a bitter, grapefruit-like finish. (060218)

Clear golden colour with a white head. Floral hop aroma with hints of honey. Flavor is grassy with citrus, a little graprfruit aswell. Long bitter aftertaste.

Golden colour with a modest white head. Nice citric hop aroma, but also some sweet maltiness underneath. The almost bready maltiness is more pronounced on the tongue, making the overall impression sweet. The citrus is still there, though, and the finish is drier. Medium-bodied. More charming than expected.

Not best aroma or appearance, but refreshing and flavorful on a hot day. Fizzy. Clean. Golden.
