Good standard lager yellow, firm decent head. Flowery, slight dusty aroma. Nice fresh grainy flavours come through along with grassy hop notes. Nothing better ice cold on a sunny Sunday afternoon in the Dux courtyard.

Bottle, pours a crystal clear dark gold, some bubbles and a pillowy white head. A rather non-descript bready malt on the nose. An over-complicated palate for my mind - bready, sweet malt and dry metallic, hops compete. There is a floweryness thrown in their too. More flavoursome than most lagers dare, but I struggled to enjoy this.

(On tap) Pale golden with a small, white head. Fresh, floral hop aroma. Light-bodied with a subdued malt base. Very dry hop accents that don’t leave much bitterness though. But a very decent summer quencher. 220108

I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon.
Sampled it at the Dux de Lux in Queenstown. Clear golden colored brew. A bit malty. Not too special, but very drinkable.

Tasted 27/10/2006. Pint fro the brewpub. Pale gold, limed-hued, bright, with a white head. Lightly malty and a little grainy on the nose. A little grassy on the nose and palate. Very clean in the mouth, especially straight of the tap at mouth-numbing temperatures. Some juicy Saaz D hop flavouras it warms. Pretty fresh. Drinkable, and unremarkable.
