2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Slight orange,corrinander with a hint of cloves.Appearance cloudy with good head retention.
Flavour is a bit out of balance with to much malt flavour/sweetness and not enough orange/corrinander.
Overall not bad but not balanced for the style.
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cloudy typical wheat beer with foamy head that disapates but stays quite low with steady stream of bubbles. Aroma and palette of banana and dried apricot, lingers for a while. A little bit sweet but well balanced. Not a fan of this style.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
A fairly uncomplicated wheat beer, aromas and flavour dominated by lemon peel rather than banana, bubblegum and cloves. Sadly this beer’s production has been halted by a thumping great earthquake in Christchurch. Hopefully it’ll be back in production in time for summer as it occupies a good space in the market as a bit of an eye opener for the mainstream beer crowd.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle, in a Hoegaarden tumbler. After 6 bottles at various times I managed to get most of the aromas mentioned on the bottle. Banana, bubblegum, citrus, cloves mostly with this bottle. Light golden hue, cloudy with large white rocky head mostly diminishing, minimal lacing. Moderately sweet, mildly bitter, a touch of sourness and some ginger spiciness. Light to medium body, creamy mouth feel, average carbonation, light dry finish.
I fully acknowledge that there are much better Witbiers in the world but at under $NZ 10 for 6 bottles this is a good value hot afternoon refreshment in the same way Macs Hop Rocker is.
