2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
330ml bottle. Smells of sweet grains with an overall floural backgound. The appearance is your typical lager, golden, fizzy with a white head. The taste is very similar to European lagers, crisp and refreshing but without the rubber aftertaste. I think this is actually the first beer from New Zealnd I have tried. For the price this is a tasty lager.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Served cold and poured a smallish, white, thick head that settled down and some lace. Color is a clear yellow with some bubble trails. Aroma is mild, beery. Flavor is bolder than nose, with hop bitter coming out, a hint of sweet, and strong carbonic tang. Body is ok, carbonation sharp. Finish is like flavor with bitter/tang dominating and slowly tapering after some time. Not really for me.

Been a long time since I have had this beer and would have to admit pleasantly surprised. Typically known as a "headache in a bottle" this beer is a very easy to drink style and is not overly complex.

A lot better than average mainstream uk lagers (okay not much competition but you know what I mean). Actually felt it was nice, crisp, refreshing and moreish. Well done Asd - £5.00 FOR 6. (why is UK stuff overpriced when this comes from the other side of the world?)
