Apr 28, 2008 Draught at the Pig & Whistle in Rotorua. Pretty much agree with what highlandlad has to say - just a standard lager, nothing of note at all.

Sep 9, 2007 Pretty dire macro-style lager passed off as the house brew at the Pig & Whistle pub in Rotorua, New Zealand. Standard pale straw with a fair ring of suds. Clean and simple aroma with some pale malt and adjuncts. No off-notes but dull dull dull. Hard, fizzy mouthfeel. Stale malty flavour, slightly acidic with a crisp finish. They could stick the Swine Lager label on any number of local macro lagers and no one would be any the wiser. Pointless stuff. (Draught at the Pig & Whistle, Rotorua)

Feb 17, 2006 Bright golden colour with small head, mild bitterness with smokey after taste. Very little aroma but what little aroma there was. is better than the aroma outside!!!

Feb 8, 2006 Draught at Pig & Whistle, Rotorua (now apparently made by Lion Br.)
Pale golden, no head. Vague soapy hop aroma. Medium sweet and fruity with fairly light body and clean mouthfeel. Standard yellow stuff.

Aug 1, 2005 Very pale straw cooured beer. Pretty typical lager aroma, straw/hay. Flavour is quite thin and boring. Typical grassy hop flavour and light malt.
