2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
I was really looking forward to this but again it was well over carbonated. This made it hard to enjoy.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap @ Tap Haus, Wellington. Pours straw coloured with a quickly disappearing thin white head. Nice lemon/orange zest aromas. Really thin mouthfeel and very little going on flavour wise - no finish. Will try again from Bottle and re-rate.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a lustrous gold, but hazy with a fast dissipating white head. Smells spicy with tangerine peel, grapefruit, wild grassiness, lemongrass and chlorophyll.
Good mouthfeel, cool and quenching. Lemon zest and mild bitterness. Cooling rather than satisfying. This beer is what a blonde ought to be, one with flavour, rather than a pale tasteless shabby bottle of low-carb nothingness.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours a cloudy straw colour with a nice, thick white head. Aroma is full of tropical fruits - the bulk being passionfruit. Much of the same in the taste with a hop kick to finish with. Enjoyed it quite a bit
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap. Nice beer, not spectacular. Aromas of citrus and pine. Taste has a sweet start, with bitterness taking over. Palate is oily, with high carbonation, and thin-to-medium body, Dark yellow, with a thin head.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 500ml bottle on 23/1/2011. Pours a slighly cloudy pale apricot/straw. The aroma light, fruity and a little floral. in the mouth, you get passionfruit and pineapple notes, with a slightly tart, and reasonably pronounced hop kick. A nice tasty, refreshing, well made blonde ale.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
500ml bottle. Smells like fruit salad in a bottle with tropical fruit aromas spewing out when opened, particularly passionfruit and some faint hints of pineapple. Quite hazy in the glass with an even layer of white foam. Sweet amlt flavour up front and then bang, you get a big hop burst. On the palate it is very zingy and lively with a full mouthfeel.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pale golden, good head formation and retention, Fruity aroma and flavour. A light rerfeshing beer,
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Appealing gold amber with a falling head. Sweet floral aromas of citrus and passionfruit are obvious and standout in this easy drinking warm weather beer. It’s a little thin but has enough zing for a hot arvo bbq session.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dirty orange/ brown with a small white head. Very high bead. Modest passionfruit and kumquat aroma with some pears and bread. Thin mouthfeel borders on watery. Taste of light bread, pears with bright lemon sourness and a little bitterness. Nice floral note floats around the finish. Better - fruitier - as it warmed to about 10C rather than the recommended 6-8, but nothing special.
