1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Poured piddle yellow with thick fast dissipating head. Very little lacing. Aroma is a little grassy hop, a little malt, a little skunk. Light bodied, malt flavour marred by greasiness. Malty finish would have been better without more greasiness. Maybe I’m drinking this in the wrong hemisphere
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tasted slightly skunky, not much hop character. Grassy with vague citrus hints. Not awful.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
This beer has a dry hop finish, Small head after a pale yellow pour, Aroma is grassy and hop like. The taste overall isn’t that bad. A average Lager
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle. Pours a pale yellow. Aroma of skunk. Tastes metallic and skunky. I like lagers, but this one is bad beyond description.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a pale straw yellow, nose is crisp and citrusy, taste is clean, moderate bitterness, almost juicy at times.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
330ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Typical Germanic style lager. Pale straw in colour with a billowing white head that falls back very quickly; grassy aroma; grainy flavour; and a weakly bitter straw-like finish. I hope this isn’t "New Zealand’s finest lager".
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
A: The pour is a typical pale straw color with a white head that goes nearly as quickly as it arrives.
S: An incredibly "off" nose. Lots and lots and lots of skunk and a slight vegetable/DMS note. Some mild adjunct/grain sweetness.
T: If you could eat a skunk’s spray, this is a pretty close approximation as to what it would taste like. Perhaps some undertones of sweetness, but the skunk is hard to get passed.
M: The body is light and somewhat watery and the carbonation is medium, which is somewhat surprising.
D: Blech, this may have been a bad bottle, but from reading some of the other reviews, it seems like it’s just bad overall.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Great, great, great beer.....a true "CLASSIC".....if you like having bottled skunk. I’d rather drink diesel fuel or Coors Light. Stick with Blatz for the taste, sophistication & quality you deserve. Don’t question it!
