Oct 19, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, hops, malt, and flavor follows suit. Very Euro, but without the Euro skunk that plagues so many German, Czech, and other Central European lighter styles. More bitter than expected. Light bodied, crisp, refreshing.

Apr 9, 2009 Draught at Galbraith’s Alehouse, Auckland. Pale golden with small white head. Aroma of malt and floral notes, though not as clean as I would of liked. Crisp flavour and good bitterness. For a lager it’s definitely of of the better ones I’ve tried.

Oct 24, 2008 Maybe it’s because i’ve walked miles and this is my first beer but man that’s a good drop! Slightly ’feet’ on the nose but the flavours are great a very assertive nutty malt palate with a dry dry finish, like yalnikim says, probably to hoppy in the finish for the style but i don’t care.

Feb 14, 2008 (On tap) Clear, golden with a creamy, white head leaving a pretty lacework. Fresh, lightly floral aroma. Medium body with a solid, clean malt base and a dry, hoppy finish. Very clean and well made. 070208

Dec 9, 2007 Draught at the brewpub, A slight haze to the golden colour and a white foamy head. A lightly hopped aroma with hints of honey. The easy bitterness and dryness works well on the palate. The grainy flavour is very clean and the beer as a whole is very easy to drink. If only there were more lagers like this in NZ, I might drink them more often.

Dec 3, 2007 Tasted 03/12/2007. Tap, at the brewpub.
Lovely crisp, and well-lagered, pale lager from New Zealand’s spiritual home of real ale. Very nice balance of herbal hop and fragrant malt, with a nice touch of sulphur. A shade more hop than you might expect from a Munich lager but served in good condition.

Aug 15, 2007 Tried with Gareth at brewery. Smelt floral with pungent sweetness and maybe strawberries too (?). It’s nice: clean and crisp with super quick fresh herby taste ( a bit like their Pils). Gareth reckoned it got better as it warmed a degree or three and I agree. More flavours were realeased but a kind of barny straw arrived to muddy the experience.
