Oct 19, 2009 Cask at the brewpub. Pours a nice clear amber with a small white head. A lot of caramel on the nose, along with vanilla, fruit, earth, and hops. The flavor is hoppier, along with the sweet caramel and vanilla, and just a bit of fruit and earthy notes. Light body, sticky, with a bitter finish. Another sessionable, solid, unmistakably English-style bitter from Galbraith.

Apr 9, 2009 Draught at Galbraith’s Alehouse, Auckland. A golden beer with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt, biscuit and fruit. The flavour is a nice chewy biscuit and fruit. Medium bodied with low bitterness.

Mar 20, 2009 A perfectly pleasant pint, very much in style of the classic English special bitters. However I felt that this beer was under hopped. Don’t get me wrong, I’d happily sit down with a pint of this, a pork pie and the crossword, but there are better in this class in New Zealand. I really, really wanted to love this beer more.

Feb 14, 2008 (Cask) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving a neat lacework. Fat malty aroma. Medium body with a soft, low carbonated mouthfeel. Solid caramellish malt base but never sweet. Dry, hoppy finish. 070208

Aug 15, 2007 Tap: Looks thick - hazy copper, yummy 1cm head. Smokey aroma that exudes well into the taste. And there’s biscuits too and a bit of burnt home-made hokey pokey (that’s a caramelised sugar and butter treat folks - like toffee). Scrummy easy drinkin’ beer that wants some food with it cos it’s deliciously bitter...

Feb 8, 2006 Cask at the brewpub. Copper colour, grassy nose. Sweet with clean crystal malt character. There’s some toffee and a salty bitterish finish, but the simplistic malt character makes it far less interesting than it’s lighter brother, Bob Hudson.
