330ml bottle from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a clear dark amber colour with a short-lived frothy, off-white, head. The aroma is malt, light woody hops. The flavour is light bitter, with a light, watery, bland, light malt, cardboard, mineral, light metallic, light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. One of the worst beers I’ve ever had. It’s like drinking coloured water. There is seriously very little flavour. This beer makes Bud Light seem like a classic. Does the brewery ever taste their own beers?? Absolute drain pour.

330ml bottle: BB 15th Aug 2021. Obtained from Beers of Europe. Drank at home on 29th July 2021, shared with no one. Clean deep amber body, wispy head that soon buggered off. Caramel and malty nose, taste also has a malty molasses front with a sweet leaning. Thin and on the watery side, mouthfeel wise. A little disappointed to be honest.

Amber color, light blackcurrant aroma. Thin to medium bodied. A slight hoppiness matched by blackcurrant (cascade hops?) Hint of caramel. Citric aftertaste. Nice!

330ml bottle. Pours orange gold. Acidic, bit of stone fruit, bit of toffee, fair bit of sulfur. Medium body. Not a good beer.

On tap at a cafe at Fox's Glacier. A dark straw coloured pour with a tight white head; sweet caramel taste, with a grainy body. Rather uninspiring, but little else available in this corner of NZ.

330ml bottle. Amber coloured with a small off-white head. Aroma: malts, caramel. Taste: mild malty notes, caramel, light fruity hops. Oily texture. A pretty mild tasting beer, inoffensive though.

Pint on tap at The Whaler, Kaikoura. Ruby red beer with thin white head. Slight aroma of malt and hops. Flat mouthfeel, taste is mostly malt. Finish has a little touch of tinny hops then the sweet sweet malt kicks back in. Standard NZ pub ale, dull but drinkable.

Ambar tirando a oscura de aroma acaramelado. Dulce y ligera en boca, y final lupulado frutal. Equilibrada y bien hecha.
