alepig666 (78), Adelaide, Australia Jun 12, 2009 Drank plenty of these when I was last in NZ. Mega skunky aroma that’ll knock your socks off if you’re not ready for it. Lucky this isn’t reflected in the taste. Very crisp, nice and clean corn and hops sort of taste, goes down easy with moderate carbonation, slight bitter hops aftertaste. This stuff grows on you and it’s easy to get rat arsed on, but don’t have too many, those green Motueka hops will leave you with a horrible headache the next morning. Decent enough, shame about the aroma and the hangover though. sdriessen (203), Dunedin, New Zealand Jun 10, 2009 Aroma and flavour are largely grass, walnuts and grainy malt. Hint of that (not-so-nice) green bullet - high alpha.
I’ve tried this one many a year ago, and I think the flavour is remarkably different (as it, easier to drink), or perhaps my palate has evolved a little bit. Hmm, could be better than some others, for a cheaper-but-not-crap, session beer. Oscbert (531), Sacramento, California, USA Jun 9, 2009 ~Pours a clear pale gold with big fluffy white head. Some lacing.
~Sour hay aroma with malt and spicy hops.
~Hops are more dominate in flavor. Slightly grassy followed by a light sweetness. Fairly weak.
~Palate is junk. Hardly any carbonation. Feels just like water. No aftertaste.
~Disappointing brew. Bland and boring. yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Jun 5, 2009 33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small and chalk white head. Aroma is light citrusy and grassy, rather crisp and inviting. Citrusy, light cornish and crisp grassy bitter flavoured. Medium dry and vague citrusy flavoured finish. Good pale lager. halfonit (423), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Jun 1, 2009 Yellow color. Smells mostly of malts and skunk with very little hops. Tastes of malts and skunk. Nothing special about this one. Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark May 31, 2009 It is golden with a huge, white and creamy head. The aroma has notes of dusty malt. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of dusty malt, grain, light straw and flower and the finish is slightly dry. The overall impression is watery. topherh (889), Kearney, Missouri, USA May 28, 2009 Pours straw golden with a two fingered white head. Lots of skunky hop and sweet corny malt aroma. Flavor is very light, sweet and a little grassiness. Vertical Bacon Strips (874), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada May 26, 2009 This stuff sucks. Not a bad beer but boooooooring. Same old pale gold colour and same old malt taste, decent head and isnt that bad if it warms up. MMMM MMMM skunky skanky beer yumm yumm - too bad i contradict myself and say that I wount have a problem getting slammed on this stuff. Why are so many people drawn to boring beers?
