Charlies (1), New Zealand does not count Dec 8, 2005 A wonderful beer. i tried some at a bbq eariler this year. It was chillled and worked very well with the classic NZ bbq dinner. Excellent! yalnikim (630), Wellington, New Zealand Aug 28, 2005 Tasted 29/08/2005. 330ml bottle.
Bright and pale gold. White, vanishing head. Mild grass and lemony hop nose. A little bit soapy. Little malt profile, the dominant flavour is a strong lemony bitterness - the flavour of a thyme leaf but without the astringent aftertaste. Lingers quite some time and hints of watermelon. A little one-dimensional but certainly drinkable. Thankfully this avoids the honey-like sweetness of the international "premium" lagers. If you like Cock and Bull Blue Goose, my guess is you’ll like this.
