330 ml bottle. Std NZ draught colour. Slight biscuity and a damp cotton aroma. Quite malt/mealy flavours but a thin finish. Decent alternative to other mainstream offerings.

On tap at brewery bar. Pours pale golden. Small malt aromas, clean body, bitter, not much hop, a bit watery. Nutty malt lingers a bit. Quite simple.

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with a small, white head. Sweetish malt aroma. Light in body with light notes of malt and caramel. There’s also a light, underlying acidity. The finish is dry. 190208

Tasted 27/10/2006. 5oz taster from tap at the brewery bar. Brown, whispy off-white head, caramelly, slight ester. Cold, quite thin and with a sugary cidery bite. Nothing wrong with this, besides the philosophy behind it’s recipe.
