2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
A pale golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of straw, citrus and a bit of malt - though a bit boring. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus, malt, metal, and a bit of cardboard, leading to a dry cardboardy finish
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Golden in color, clear, large sudsy white head, spotty lacing. Musty straw and old apples on the nose. Grassy on the tongue, some hay and straw, somewhat sweet. Very clean and crisp. Not too
much otherwise, but its clean and has a nice sweetness with the straw/hay aspect. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Clean finish, soft grassiness and old apples linger. Better than I expected. Thanks Bob for
the bottle!

2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
330ml bottle. Pours a toffee brown colour. Smooth taste and palate. Not too much much fizz which fades quickly.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
No aroma, no flavour (except for some maltiness, some raspberry juice and NO hops). At least it is not physically repulsive... As for the idiotic marketing, I could not agree more with Jimthechap (below). When watching the Crusaders or Canterbury at the stadium, I refuse to drink this product. I will have much better beer at home, before and after the games.
