Sample thanks to Grumbo, shared with haddock. Misty golden appearance, small white head. Cobweb and tired malts on the nose. Taste brings additional cardboard and oxidised bitterness. It does seem past its best, but then I have seen more unkind comments on the beer fresh.

Sunday 26th September 2021. The quest goes on tasting with Mat in Chez Sophie. Shared sample from Grumbo; cheers mate. Oxidised for sure, real cobweb feel to this Samoan tick. Can't really score it correctly.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear golden colour, some white bubbles on top and aroma of malt, grain, fruity. Taste is sweet, malty, some toffee and caramel, and fruity with biscuity bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying malty bitter finish. OK

Ridiculous 750ml bottle all the way from New Zealand. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized airy white head. Aroma is alcohol, grain and malt. Taste is grain, malt, very light bitter finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Actually pretty decent.
