From old tasting notes. Translucent orange yellow color. Rocky beige head. herbal hop nose. Subtle sweet grainy malt flavor. Very little carbonation. Slightly citrusy hop finish is light and refreshing. More sweet malt as well.

330ml bottle. Aroma is murky straw and boiled vegetables. Flavour is the same dirty mix. Thin, vinegary sharp. Really quite unpleasant, even by the standards of the style.

A myslalem ze to lager kolejny przemyslowy sikacz. Ale barwa lekko miedziana, jak na wiedenskiego lagera troche za jasna, piana srednia ale opada szybko. Mocno zakrecony kapsel Swing-top ze trzeba go bylo zdejmowac otwieraczem. Fajna etykieta i sredni smak slodowo karmelowy. W koncowce gdzies w oddali goryczka sie proboje przebic, ale niezbyt sie jej to udaje

Handle on tap, Grove Tavern Blenheim. Pale amber, no head. A few bubbles. Slight malt nose. Watery, zingy, sweet sherbet and malt with a vegetal finish. Dire, nearly undrinkable.

On tap at Grove Tavern, Blenheim. Very slight hop nose. Golden brown beer with no head, a few bubbles. Watery, flat, sweet with fruity malt finish. Dreadful but, man can you drink it quick!

Absolutnie nie ma sie co rozpisywac o tym wyrobie piwo-podobnym. Zero zapachu, w smaku jak woda zrodlana, jasna, jaskrawa barwa. Z tego tylko w miare srednia piana, ale i tak opadajaca blyskawicznie. Opakowanie fatalne, jasne szklo, kapsel swing-top, klejona nieciekawa etykieta. W zastepstwie np latem zamiast wody mineralnej to tak, ale jak nie trzeba jeszcze kierowac auta

330ml bottle into lager glass. Nose is lemon cordial. Cloudy yellow beer with thin bubbly white head. No visible carbonation. Flat and sweet. Touch of malt right at the end of a short sweet finish. Inconsequential with hardly a trace of beer.

330ml bottle in Christchurch, no glass served. Golden yellow color, almost no head in the bottle. Nose reminds me of Heineken, taste too. No finish whatsoever, you swallow and it’s gone.
