LeopardMan (53), New Zealand Dec 4, 2006 330 ml. bottle, served in a lager glass on 5/12/06. Medium gold with a rapidly dissipating white head. Orangey herbal flavour and aroma with a nice oily quality. I’m sick of tasting water all the way through my beer, so the above qualities are a nice change. Shame about the price, though - NZ$13.??/six-pack. Also, with a name like ’Hoprocker’, the people who created it should at least have tried to compete with some of the "bigger" foreign beers.
zebracakes (1051), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 5, 2009 On tap 01.05.09. Clear gold, white head. Aroma is citrus, malt. Flavor is malty and hoppy and typical for a pilsner. Dbeers (19), , New Zealand Dec 22, 2008 Bottle, Sweet fruit and hop tones, pours a clear golden colour, Nice long lasting head, taste is crisp with some clean fruit tastes, Good beer but felt it came up a little short sdriessen (56), Dunedin, New Zealand Dec 18, 2008 Updated: Dec 19, 2008Sweet, hoppy nose with fruity notes, including grapes and citrus.
Pours a rather boring yet clean, pale yellow with a thin white head.
A deliciously bitter, fruity palate. Strong, grassy hops, yet quite a fruity pilsner. Grapefruit and lime zest with straw like malts.
A slightly astringent finish, but overall a very refreshing beer. Very proud of the NZ pilsner styles so far, and Macs is one of the best. Demise (11), Wellington, New Zealand Nov 20, 2008 A deep golden colour with a white fluffy head. Lightly hopped nose with floral notes, but the first sip offers a far more complex flavour than the aroma’s let on.
A smooth mix of passionfruit, malt and floral hops which both begin and finish the mouthful. Perhaps a hint of vanilla at the outset, but a strong hoppy bitterness throughout to stay true to the Czech style. Crisp and refreshing, best of the Mac’s range.
