Cask at the brewpub. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Little carbonation. Hoppy aroma, with fruit, malt and wood. Bitter. Light body, somewhat watery, and smooth from lack of carbonation. Unmistakably English style. Good session beer.

Draught at Galbraith’s Alehouse, Auckland. Pours golden with a lasting white head. Aroma and flavour of malt and fruit. Low bitterness and a little sweetness in the finish. This one’s an easy drinking brew.

(Cask) Clear, deep golden with a small, off-white head. Lightly nutty nose. Light in body with your typical smooth cask mouthfeel. A little nuts and fruit but also a vague fusty edge. Dry, bitter finish. 070208

Smelt some gooseberries or lime on the nose but not too much else. Flavour is mild on hops and a bit cardboardy in an easy drinking way ( tastes carbonated though it’s not). Bit thin (especially compared to the other brews here). Good honest session beer.

Spritzy light coloured session bitter, i find this beer very refreshing. Fruity malt with light bitterness another good example of it’s style

Pale gold colour with small white head, fruity hop nose. Sweet fruity flavour almost grapefruit/ citrus.

Served from the cask via beer engine with a sparkler. Pours a light gold with a thick white head . Aromas of stone fruit and citrus with a touch of earthy hop. Palate starts lightly malty with a touch of the characteristic marris otter nuttyness. Bitterness builds along with goldings hop flavour before finishing mineraly and bitter. Outstanding bitter that shows how much flavour can be combined in a low gravity ale.

Cask at the brewpub. Deep golden. Fruity hay aroma. Sweet and malty with soft, rounded mouthfeel. Chewy with notes of ripe fruits and medium bitterness. An honest, English style bitter.
