Medium-gold; very little head. Nice, forward grassy hops and a pleasant touch of skunk on the nose. Quite clean and refreshing, with a mathematical balance between hops, malt and grain. Medium-length, bitter finish. A traditional, by-the-book lager that goes down great.

Had this in China a couple days ago, so it was served warm for my pleasure. It really was not too bad, for a lager. Worse than Suntory, but better than Tsingtao.

Clean grassy and comes in a green bottle? This one was beggin to be called a loser! Definitely not up to snuff.

Competent Kiwi macro lager. Pale gold, vanishing head. Grassy hop aroma. Quenching palate. Tastes of adjuncts. Inoffensive and marginally better than most of Lion Nathan’s Australian brews. (Bottle)

Pale yellow with a film that rapidly replaces its short-lived head, this does have a steady stream of carbonation. Not much hop action here. There’s mainly a grassy sweetness in aroma and taste. That, and corn. Lots & lots of corn. I feel silly sitting here in Illinois drinking corn from New Zealand when we have so much here. Hope I haven’t broken any local laws.
