2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tasted on tap @ The Great Kiwi Beer Festival 2012 in Christchurch. Dry, bitter palate, with a malt flavour
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Doesn’t bode when you crack the top and your beer decides it wants out asap (sorry keyboard). Aroma is a bit muted and on the whole a beer that while is easy enough to drink, but does not engage my IIPA senses.

Bottle, enjoyed with some excellent take-away from the Indian Cafe in Nelson. Pours a deep brassy golden with a frothy white head. Grainy aroma with hints of orchad fruits. Clean grainy palate, medium bodied, with some soft fruity hops in the finish. Quite nice, and a good pairing with our dinner.

Draught. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt and floral notes. Good flavour of sweet malt, caramel and citrus. Medium bodied with a lingering bitterness.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, pouring a dark gold with a large white frothy head. A hoopy aroma of fresh grass with some citrus notes. Cirtus and stone fruits in the hoppy palate. Becoming gently drier and grassier in the finish, though also buttery. A very good lager - and I don’t say that often in NZ.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, deep golden with a small, off-white head. Fresh, lightly citrusy hop aroma. Medium body with a good malt base and a dry, flowery and also lightly citrusy finish also with lightly bitter hops. A fairly solid Premium Lager. 270108

Bottle from Halswell New World - bb 24/04/07. Clear bright straw gold. Full white head stayed thru til the bottom of the glass. Mildly dry clean nose. Crisp moderately dry palate. No hop dominance but nice balance. Best served cold. A nice beer but nothing standoutish.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tasted 29/07/2005. 500ml from BrewNZ.
Bright gold with no head. Mild malty nose with a slight banana ester. Nutty malt, a strong grassy bitterness and a touch metallic in the mouth. Astringent and tingly in the finish. Nice label but the beer is average, at best. Brewed for cold swilling, I’d guess.
