On tap at Snakebite in Franz Josef. Pours gold. Peach, lemon, elderflower, toffee, biscuit, bit of a pear like fruitiness. Medium body. Pretty decent, pretty clean. No complaints.

50cl from the Countdown supermarket in Te Anau, as Tasman Reserve. A pale amber pour with a ring of white head;floral aroma with some apricot; sweet fruity taste with a trace of honey; and an acidic fruity finish. Rather good.

On tap at S&F, Tahunanui. Golden beer with tiny collar of bubbles. Smells of lemon, malt, some grass. Taste is sweet fruit and malt. Flat mouthfeel. Light finish has apricot notes. Doesn’t look the best, not much bitterness but enjoyable none the less. Alcohol well hidden.

Draft. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

(On tap) Clear, golden with a white head. Fresh, flowery hoppiness (NZ Saaz + Nelson Sauvin) adds a lovely fresh aroma. Medium body with lightly sweet, pale malt accents, some flowers and a sweetish, alcoholic finish where also some hops are showing. 300108
