Commercial Description:
Bays Gold Lager - A pale lager with good use of local Hallertauer and Saaz hops. Gold has at least 6 weeks of cold maturation which results in an extremely drinkable lager. Bays Gold Lager was judged New Zealand's Best Lager at the 2003 New Zealand International Beer Awards.

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy golden with a small, rough, white head - gee, some of these Nelson Bays beers really look like crap. Weird aroma of prunes. Medium body with lightly floral notes and a rather flat carbonation. Underlying sweetness. Rather messy and confusing, doesn’t appear very fresh. 200208

LIght and slightly hazy in body. Small head. Very fruity aroma. Also fruity in the taste - maby some "apple". Short and fruity aftertaste.

Tasted Jan07 draught. Misty golden colour pours with a this dishwash type head. Soft marmalade / citrus nose. Non-descript start but reasonable thru the finish, slightly drying towards the end. Probably best very cold.

Pours with a thin head. Subtle but intriguing aromas - hint of lime and a tantalising maltiness. Palate is firm and surprisingly creamy. Smooth, malty flavours with green apple notes. Above-average lager.

hazy gold colour, small creamy head, heavy malty nose, very sweet malty tatste. A very mello sort of beer.

This review is a year after the last, and so the hint of grape noted seems to have disappared. This is a reasonably malty Euro style lager that is not offensive in the least.

Flat. Not much body. Can’t get a decent belch out of it at all. Next!

i think it was OK, a bit fruity (grapes-as the others have mentioned), and perhaps a bit of a malty character, but it wasn’t well noticed.
