Commercial Description:
A light-coloured lager conditioned over 30 days. It has a good head, balanced sweet/bitter palate and a clean aftertaste. Brewed for the connoisseur, Mac's Gold is brewed using only choice Motueka hops and quality barley. The bottom fermentation process of brewing by using a gravity system produces a naturally-brewed, all malt lager that contains no added chemicals, preservatives or colouring.

330mL bottle. Aromas of straw-like hops, cut grass and malt. Slight citrus zest. Pours golden with a rocky, white head. Exciting carbonation. A rather bready malt flavour. Hay, some hops. A dry finish. Light on the palate. Unpleasant lingering flavour of cooked cabbage... Nothing special...

Pours pale golden, with quickly dissipating white head. Faint aroma of not very much in particular, and quite weak on the palate too, with yeast predominating in the mouthfeel.

Slight hop aroma, clear golden colour with meduim head retention. Flavour is slight malt sweetness with a slight bitterness, finishes with a malt astringency. Overall a well made NZ lager, could be better balanced with hops and without the malt astringency.

Bottle, 4.0%. Pale golden colour, small white head. The flavour is almost clean. Very bland. Low bitterness.
