Pours a very transparent amber with a small head. Nose shows peachy and spicy hops with a fair bit of sweet malt (slightly grainy) and honey. Flavours are very similar, but with more grainy malt and a slightly herbal flavour that I also remember from their Captain Cooker beer (that at the time I thought was the manuka). Very light bitterness. Light body with carbonation that really could be higher.

1.25L Rigger. Pours slightly hazy gold with a white head that quickly disappears. Hoppy nose with notes of honey, malt and caramel. Flavour is much the same with hoppy bitterness up front giving way to sweetness on the back palate. Very aromatic and flavoursome for a lager, could be a little bigger but still very good. Not too sure about the big plastic bottle though.

1.25L rigger. Pours golden with a medium white head that lingered. Pleasant aroma and flavour of biscuit, fruit and honey. Clean mouthfeel. Light hoppy bitterness is the finish. Extremely drinkable. A lager that’s actually hard to flaw...how about that.

1.25L rigger from Rumbles. Pours bright golden, white head.
Quite a hoppy aroma, very lemony, reminds me of radler almost.
Tastes crisp, grapefruity hops with a honey like sweetness mid palate. Finish is quite bitter and hoppy.
A crisp, refreshing & interesting lager.

Small white head that thins quickly. Light golden in colour. Slight biscuity malt with delicate lemon hop nose. Nice and creamy rich in the mouth and a very clean finish with hints of bitterness and sweetness from the malt. A good pale lager I’d drink again

On tap at the brewery. A fragrant, aromatic hoppy lager with honeycomb malts and tropical fruit and elderflower flavours. Like all of the beers here, very flavourful. Delicious.

Draught at Galbraiths (Auckland), a brialliantly clear gold with a filmy head. Juicy aroma. A nice clean palate, biscuity malt with herbal notes to the hops. A very good lager.

beerstore.co.nz. Hazy gold colour with small white head. Balanced aroma of hop and malt. Nice malty flavour with subtle hop in the end. Short in mouthfeel but still a refreshing lager.
