Commercial Description:
A truly unique beer combining the best brewing traditions of Belgium with the natural goodness of manuka leaves, fresh picked from the native forests of New Zealand. When Cpt. James Cook first landed in New Zealand over 200 years ago, he brewed a beer using the leaves of the manuka tree in a quest to protect the health of his crew from vitamin C deficiency. Little did he know that the indigenous Maori people had been using manuka for centuries for its health giving properties. In 1996 the Mussel Inn refined Cook's original recipe and has since been harvesting fresh manuka from the surrounding hills to produce a beer of unique flavour and quality. Today, the same beer is being brewed in Belgium using the best of its brewing techniques and the same manuka leaves from New Zealand.

[Sampled on svogertour with Thomas and Troels at Mols.] Haze darkorange look with good light orange head. Fruits, weak caramel. Nice manuka?!?, I didn’t know the flavor, but ok. Perfumed and dry finish.

Looks good, dark amber and clear. Has a fine, off-white head, mostly lasting. But I dont like the aroma, too perfumed, perhaps the "manuka" leaves.

330ml bottle (from BBF, Oslo). Big creamy, off-white head slowly fading over a dark amber body. Hazy second pour. Fragile laceworks on the glass. Aroma of sweet honeyed malt. Flavour of spicy green tea, dried fruits and herbs. Touch of yeast to the ending. Medium bodied. A rather refreshing and health-giving summer drink (Tromsø, 23.07.2008).

Bottled thanks to Sune. Clear and deep golden coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Kinda sweet with notes of malt, caramel, honey, yeast an da hint of woodyness . Not too well balanced.
