Papsoe (9980), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 12, 2008 (Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, pale golden with a small, white head. Very fresh aroma of fruit and summer flowers. Quite a solid, malty body with a good malt sweetness before a very solid hop bitterness with loads of aroma hops and fresh flower notes. Yet another example to show that capable New Zealand micros can brew excellent pilseners with locally grown hops. 040208 Plimmer (234), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 4, 2008 Golden and slightly hazy body. Small head. Fruit and fresh hops in aroma. Carbonated with smaller boubles than i would expect. Nice fresh taste with bitter aftertaste. NoiZe (875), Zeist, Netherlands Jan 23, 2008 I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon.
Crispy and hoppy.Nice and balanced. TheGrandMaster (1432), Auckland, New Zealand Dec 23, 2007 Bottle, a slight haze to the gold colour with a white foamy head. A lovely crisp hoppy aroma. A crisp and clean palate, a good fruity flavour. A superb pilsener. bozoNZ (360), Christchurch, New Zealand Jan 25, 2007 500 ml bottle Batch 1015 Halswell New World. Nice bright gold, slightly milky. Decent firm head. Well balanced nose, grassy & fresh. Again, nice even balance between malt & hops. Butterscotch, herby & a bit of pepper too. Was waiting for a big finish but didn’t arrive - perhaps it’s only flaw.
