Speight’s is the beer of choice after a hard day’s work. Probably the least sweet of all New Zealand beers, this characteristic allows the full flavour of the malt and hops to shine through. Speight’s Gold Medal Ale is a great accompaniment to any meat dish and is superb with Southern game dishes such as venison, duck and rabbit.

1st beer on holiday. 330ml can into glass. Pours copper golden with solid white head. Lightly carbonated. Aroma of wet cardboard and pepper. Mild sweet taste, a touch of vegetables and tin mixed in with the malty finish. Cheap quaffer.

Draft at the Prince of Wales, Singapore. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is sweet malt, woody hop. The flavour is light to moderate bitter with a light hoppy metallic palate. Light bodied with average carbonation.

Bottled from Bierzwerg. Caramel color with medium white head. Fruity, syrupy aroma. Tastes like very weak lemonade with hints of malt. Very quick finish. Almost no taste.

Pours amber/ruby with a creamy small head.Nose isn’t great. Shows some caramel and nutty notes, but quite dirty.Flavours are very malty, loads of caramel and bready hints. Finishes with a mild bitterness.Nice moderate carbonation, works surprisingly well with the richer flavours.Apart from the aroma, pretty good!
