Malty taste with little nose. Gold straw colour, big head which diapates quickly.

Pale golden pour with slight white head the does not hang around. Light caramel flavor with a hint of lemony citrus. Hints of corny adjuncts, but not offensive. Poured from a pretty dusty-looking green bottle my neighbor bought at yard sale, but which the seller claimed wasn’t "all THAT old!" Yikes, I will apparently drink anything, now.

A fairly good pub lager considering the alternatives that used to be on tap here in NZ. Still nothing incredibly special overall though.

UPDATED: OCT 6, 2004 I pretty much agree with beer_ledgend on this one. That head certainly dissipates in an awful hurry. Affordable and basically tastes better and therefore is much more easily drunk than many of the local alternatives. Also, the 440 ml. slightly larger than average can is a bit of a plus.
