35cl bottle. This beer in lightly amber and marginally hazy with a small, creamy off-white head. There is mild carbonation. The aroma is quite light and ’summery’ with grassy hop tones. The flavour is fairly standard but not sub-par in anyway. There’s a subdued citric character to this brew that’s accompanied by sweetish overtones. It may have been that I was rather thirsty but, despite it being medium in body, this beer was somewhat refreshing at first, although the finish was a touch dryer with a lasting bitter end.

Oct 4, 2008 Pours a light amber yeast-hazy color with thin white head. Fresh aroma with citrus and some sweet fruitiness. Refreshing flavor with citrus and a light grapefruit hop-bitter finish.

Oct 2, 2008 Decent piney hop aroma, not very strong. The color is amber, white head. This is typical for the pale ale style. The flavor is of caramel malts, and a gentle hop balance. The finish is a light touch of citrus hops. Perfectly ok, middle of the road pale ale. A bit watery.

Oct 2, 2008 A nice pale amber, hoppy, quenching beer. It’s a pleasant enough pale ale, but it doesn’t really stand up against other beers. NZ’s Epic Pale Ale is a beeter American Pale Ale than this beer which once defined the style! That said, there’s really nothing wrong with it, it just lacks a bit of complexity.

Oct 1, 2008 clear lightamber with white head. nicely hoppy and spicy. nothing special. This really is overrated.. don’t get it. quite normal pale ale, not even close to the ten best pale ales I’ve drunk.
