Commercial Description:
'East India Pale Ale' was first brewed in England last century for the colonies East of India such as New Zealand and Australia. The beer was unpasteurised and secondary fermentation occured in the bottle during the long journey. Thirsty settlers loved its natural effervescent character and we reckon it still hits the spot today.
Brewer's Comment: This fine ale is a thoroughly refreshing beer with a light palate best suited to beaches, barbecues and all beer related occasions.
Serving Suggestions: Serve lightly chilled on its own or with any manner of barbecued meats. At restaurants, or when trying to impress others, try and use a glass. Do not mix with salad.
Cellaring: Yeah right!

Unique beer that’s definitely not your traditional IPA. A light fruit smell, with a sweeter than normal taste and surprisingly dark appearance. This beer was the one I enjoyed the most during my travels to NZ, as I have not come across a similar counterpart in Canada.

Nothing exciting in this beer. Simple ale character, nothing of flavor or aroma, but too moderated. Is this beer a mass producted thing?

Well this beer isn’t even an ale, let alone an IPA! Anyway... pours a clear amber beer with a small white head. Faint aroma of caramel malt. Have just has a Lion Red, and this isn’t overly different. Still a sweet beer, slight tastes of malt with slightly more hops then a Lion Red. Very famous and funny "Yeah Right" slogan compain in NZ so bonus marks for that!

Bottle. EIPA?! Don’t make me laugh. Boiled sweet, caramel and almond aroma. Cherryish, metallic and watery. Fizz and emptiness. Like a pasteurised Brains SA. Really sick of beers like this. Appalling.

...bottle. Easy drinking, smooth refreshing beer with low alcohol. It had a sweet slightly roasted malty flavor, no bitterness whatsoever. Sugary, caramel hints with a light body. Maybe a slight hint of flavoring hops, but that’s it. FInish was rather dry, watery and sweet. Not bad, but not what I was expecting.

Great EIPA. Only real complaint is low alcohol content makes it finish watery.
