Golden body, a bit fizzy, with a medium sized thick white head that wasn’t quick to get away. The nose is light, hoppy, but very pleasant and grapefruity. Wow, the commercial description was correct. The taste was similar, chewy grapefruity hop covering an elusive, quite light sweetish maltiness underneath. Definitely atypical for this style but oh so pleasant.

Looks like a good lager but tastes even better. Kind of sweet with a bitter aftertaste. Good ballanced. One of the best lagers i´ve ever had.

Pale golden colored. An OK head that settled in a few minutes. Fruity aroma with grapefruit dominating. Pleasant flavor dominated by lemon and grapefruit - rapidly followed by a dry lasting finish. Some sourish bitterness. A very good lager.

500ml bottle. Clean, bright gold body, with moderate sized white foam, leaving lace. Lemon citrus on the nose, some leafy and earthy spice hop presence in there with a hint of a grainy malt background. Body reasonably lean, medium carbonation, a clean, zesty bitterness makes itself apparent quite early on. Excellent hop presence on the body, the aforementioned Challenger hops certainly stamp their character on the body; leafy, earthy spice (vanilla?) with a marmalade bitter lemon/orange, very nice, with a reasonably modest hint of maltiness to back it all up. Finish is dry but very clean and refreshing. A fantastic lager from a country that one would associate more with ale. Highly recommended!

Bottle (in NZ), pours a clear gold with a pure white foamy head. A very strong and clean citrus hop aroma. Some creamhy malt on the palate, with only moderately bitter flowery and fruity hops in a finish that was a bit weak. A lager I would drink though.

Lager look with a tightly beaded head. Tastes of citrus and salt. The salt is huge and flattening on the tongue. Lots of grip and chewiness. Good beer.
