(Can) Pours clear golden with good white head. Nice aroma - citrus with herbal hints. Medium body with plenty of fine bright carbonation. Taste is a nice balance and evolution from som crisp citrus notes to herbal hoppy bitterness in the finish. Dry nice.

Can from Beer52, this one contract brewed at Fourpure. Clear gold with thin white head. Aroma of grains, cereal, hint of citrus and earthy grass. Taste of grain with lemon, lime and gooseberry, some resin with a slight syrup like consistency to it. Medium bodied, semi-drying, moderate bitterness. Not bad.

[33cl can from Beer52 as “Sawmill New Zealand Pilsner”, contract brewed by Fourpure.] A straw coloured pour with a fast fading white head; grainy aroma with some berry fruit; crisp fruity taste with a grainy body; and a fresh finish with a light herbal bitterness. An excellent pilsner.

Can. Pale gold with an inch of frothy white head. Aroma of guava, grass and gooseberry with some crackers behind. Light and just a little thin on the palate with fruity Kiwi hops coming through in a finish that's quite dry but only moderately bitter.

On tap at Vultures Lane. Pours pale. Slick body. Reasonably crisp. Dry grassiness, peach, lemon, nutty malts. Pretty dull.
