Sep 7, 2008 Bottle picked up by Barry Reynolds and consumed on a narrowboat gliding serenly down the Oxford canal in Jericho, Oxford 06-09-08 Some perfume on nose also lime and cold tea, actually it Liptons Iced Tea and the colour is not too disimilar pours light amber with white head. Tastes a little bitter at first more of a bitter bite than I’m used to with a Belgian beer but then the Liptons Iced Tea comes back. Its really not bad, quite interesting.

Aug 29, 2008 330 ml stubby bottle, thanks to oh6gdx and chris_o. ABV is 5.7%. I admit I had never heard of manuka before I got this beer! Clear amber colour, huge off-white head with an orangey hue. Moderate aroma of malts and spice, and something undefined which I suppose is the manuka leaves. The flavour has moderate malts and some caramel and undefined spice, with a noticeable bitterness in the finish, which might or might not be caused by manuka leaves, in addition to the hops? Definitely drinkable, but not particularly exciting.

Aug 23, 2008 Updated: May 18, 2009A little hazy amber colored beer, with a off-white head. The aroma of spices, fruits and malts. The taste of brown spiced biscuits, some quinine, there is bitterness. The after taste is dry bitter.
I don’t no the aroma and taste of Manuka, but iI think it’s there, because there are some unknown notes.

Aug 4, 2008 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.

Jul 29, 2008 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).
