Pure All Malt Draught

Brewed by Hawkes Bay Independent Brewery
Style: American Dark Lager
Napier, New Zealand

Again a slight colour difference but the theme continues sweet corn dominates the smell and taste all the beers are the same they should save the packaging.

Bottle 50cl. Golden colored clear body with small white head. Sweet malt dominates the nose. Flavour dominated by malt.

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Lightly sweet malt aroma with a vague whiff of caramel. Medium body with light malt accents and a dry finish with a whiff of honey. 020208

Looks virtually identical to the brewer’s Pure Lager and is just as simple. Bronze colour with a poor head. Clean but forgettable aroma of faint malts. Hard spritzy mouthfeel. Faint crystal malt and minimal bitterness. Very similar to the Pure Lager. No real flaws but God, it’s dull. (Draught at brewpub)
