Macs Wicked Blonde

My friend brought this bottle to me from her trip to New Zealand. So, thanks Ash! Pours out a yellow color without much of a head. Smell is hops and a touch of corn and wheat. Taste is smooth and a little bitter from some hop additions. Pretty smooth, I would drink quite a few of these if I was down there. Not too shabby. Cool bottle too.

Pours a nice golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is citrusy and hoppy. Flavor is very clean and crisp. has a nice hop finish to it.

The best thing ever to come out of Mac’s. Not quite as good as the first few batches out of the Wellington Brewing Company but certainly the best thing in a Mac’s bottle. A great hoppy new world pilsener.

In bottle, brewed by Wellington Brewery for Mac’s Pale yellow straw colour with big white head. Mild hoppy aroma. Spicy hop taste. I normally would associate "blonde" with a wheat beer with coriander and orange,ala Leffe blonde, but this is more of a big pilsner style. Is very refeshing.

Draught at Smuggler’s, Nelson. Clear pale yellow. Grassy hop aroma. Dry and crisp with grainy malt character. The body is slender and it has good bite in the bitterness. A good, real pilsener. By far my favourite from these guys.
