330ml bottle. This beer is an oasis in the very barren beer desert that is Fiji. Stands alone above other local brands available. Golden amber with a slim white head. Not the best looking beer but goes down a treat while watching the tropical sunset over the ocean.

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - APR 16, 2013
Golden colour. There isn’t much head. The aroma is slightly spicy from hops, a novel plan in the south Pacific. The body is light, the finish a bit dry, but again there’s some hop, this time mixing with a little sourness. Not the cleanest or best lager, but might be the best one in Fiji.

Very pure, crisp and refreshing lager. No real discernible flavour characteristics, just a dangerously sessionable lager ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Try drinking one of these whilst laying on a pure white sand Fijian beach & telling me it isn’t a great hot weather beer. Please...

KyotoLefty (4736) - Kyoto, JAPAN - OCT 17, 2012
Bottle from Yamaichi. Strange nose, rather funky, some citrus, not malty at all. Unpleasant. Deep gold with a low, fine head. Somewhat sweet, corny, flavor, a bit of fruit, and something like gruel. Not all that beer-like and not very good in the least. Maybe the wheat makes it softer, but it smells gross and tastes as if it’s full of adjuncts.

kiwianer (2335) - Mönchengladbach, GERMANY - OCT 6, 2012
Country number 70! Juhu my first beer from Fiji! The bottle is cool designed. The head robust, the body orange-amber. It smells a lot of fruits, maracuja, litschi, pomegranate. The taste is a bit foamy, malty, very fruity, maracuja, creamy. Good, tasty and very interesting refreshing beer! Nice beer from the Soutpacific, Save the turtles! 11/13/12/12/15/13

Could be just the fact that you’re in paradise but beer was actually a great surprise. Golden sparkling pour. Very clean and fresh tasting brew. Slightly sweet but delicious, I could drink these all day (actually I did). Perfect beach beer.

madquacker (951) - Canberra ACT, AUSTRALIA - JUN 23, 2012
Was expecting the usual Fiji Bitter or Fiji Gold choice when visiting Fiji and was suprised to see this! Promoted as the game changer to the CUB product. Aroma of pale ale. Not chemically but too sweet for my tastes. Reverted to ice cold Fiji Bitter pretty quickly on a hot day, but was good as something different.

Sevenlee (886) - Central Coast, NSW, AUSTRALIA - MAY 24, 2012
Pours a clear yellow colour with a tiny short-lived white head. Aroma is faint malt with some hops. Taste is also slightly malty leading to a very light bitter finish. Pretty crisp, refreshing and boring. Not much more to say.
