Sep 20, 2009 Bottle. Honey golden color with lace. Huge honey aroma, fruity and very sweet and cloying. Sweet, honey and pilsner malt flavor; light hops, slightly tangy. Very sweet, cloying. Light body. Somewhat saved by a slightly dry finish.

Jun 23, 2009 Pretty bland but well crafted, certainly better than most bland beers. Slight DMS on the nose. low bitterness, low hop, mainly malt but thats kinda low too.

May 8, 2009 Pours a pale yellow with a greenish tinge - white, rocky head.
Hoppy nose, hints of grainy malt. Some honey sweetness in there, with passionfruti and floral notes.
This one tastes quite appley... Pretty sweet, passionfruit and lemon from the hops. nice and fruity with a biscuity malt.
Light and crisp on the palate. Pretty boring, after all.

May 2, 2009 Bottle. Clear yellow gold, white foamy head. First aroma to greet the nose unfortunately is a strong metallic note, like you’re sniffing the cap instead of the brew. That metallic aroma also is present on the palate, competing with the grainy aroma, and a slight sourish note. Quick finish. My least favourite of the Aotearoa brews.

Oct 9, 2008 deliate aroma of lime with a metallic hint. Very pale with a small white head. Apple and lime flavour witha hint of caramel sweetness. Very dry, crisp finish, with a gentle bitterness. I’d prefer a little more malt character.

Sep 7, 2008 Tasted at Beervana 2008. Maybe some hops on the nose. Unpleasantly dry, hop flavour fades quickly.

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle - 330ml. Blond body with good carbonation and a diminishing white bubbly head. Its corny/malty aroma carries some metallic hints. Malty/hoppy taste with some unpleasant corny, metallic and CO2 notes. Ends with a short bitter finish. Not impressed.
