2l rigger from the brewery 08/01/06 Bright clear bronze/brown faint head. Woody, dusty aroma. Weak in body but full, dry, fresh greeness (Green Bullet?) with some celery & horsersadish. Nice balance & strong thru the finish. Nice drop

Bottled. Brownish amber, small head. Vague orange aroma. Light bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. The hop flavour is somewhat odd, and there are cellary notes. Low to medium bitterness. Firm for having such low gravity.

Reasonably tasty golden ale wth a decent hop aroma and flavour. Light body though, which let the hops dominate.

Tasted 20/06/2005. 500ml bottle from Regional’s, Wellington. Rose gold, very little carbonation. Velvety, just off-white, head. Lacey and diminishing. Nose is of orange pith, candi sugar, wood and is slightly spicey; peppery at first with aniseed hints later. Flavour is hop driven at first, a peppery and zesty citrus bitterness, with a malt sweetness coming through later as it warms up a little (started drinking it a cellar temp). Quite lightweight in the mouth but that is to be expected at 3.6%. A touch tingley on the palate. Nice quaffer.

Bright gold colour with small creamy head. has hoppy/minty taste. Not quite a bitter but not a typical lager either, somewere in the middle.

compost aroma, compost bitterness, lingering compost finish, regular amber appearance.

ugh, this was a beast. honey ham plus chutney plus same crushed ants thing from the pilsener (i'm wondering whether a few got in my cup). sweet, tangy and cloying all at the same time.
