Loved the orangy colour in the glass. Nicely balanced hops and malt. Delicious lingering flavour.
Note: tasted from tap at Galbraiths in Auckland - early 2006 (writing this one from memory).

Sep 20, 2008 Rating from memory after many pints of this at various venues. I was sad to see this retired because it was a solid go to beer of mine when i wanted a refreshing ale. Looks great in the glass has a great floral zesty hop aroma my only complaint has always been it’s body....a little bit thin

Dec 16, 2007 Bottle, pours a clear amber with a large foamy white head. The aroma combines flowery hop and grainy malt. Quite a smooth palate with just enough crispness and dryness. The Maris Otter malt teaming up well with the flowery and bitter hops. Has got better since I would have last tasted this years ago.

Oct 6, 2007 Another rich, flavoursome ale from one of Australasia’s best brewers. Brewed with British Maris Otter barley, this packs a lot of punch for a golden ale. I found it too intense to be sessionable, but that’s personal taste. As always with Emersons’ brews, it presented well in the glass with a tall head that left reefs of lace. Quite a herbal aroma - faint echoes of Orval, as Bridge observed. Also Weetbix, cider apples and rusty nails in a tart olfactory package. Soft mouthfeel. Lots of passionfruit tartness on the tongue, plus pineapple and salt before a big, phlegmy finish. Not their best work but well made. (500ml bottle from Scenic Cellars, Taupo. BB May 08)

Jun 22, 2007 Bottle at KØ07. Good dusty hop aroma. Hazy copper colour. The flavour also has a nice hoppiness with a hint of tea. Rubbery mouthfeel.

Jun 1, 2007 500ml bottle - ripe dominant citrus aroma. Wonderful malt structure again complimented with zesty citrus flavors. Nicely carbonated and refreshing if a little thin.

May 21, 2007 Bottle. Light orange color with a small head. First the aroma is strong malt, but after a while citrusfruits and spices appear aswell. The flavor is a bit sweet, with hints of grapefruit and hops. Finishes with a nice dry bitterness which makes this beer very refreshing. Nice summer beer.
