Drinkable but not a good as a decent lager nor a porter. A nothing style IMHO.

Head gone in seconds. Almost clear chestnut-mahogany beer. Sweet chestnuts (indeed) or nuts. Lots of caramel. Honeycovered apero nuts. Caramel, even toffee, very faintly coffee. Some nice diluted syrup for desserts. At least medium bodied, slightly oily, soft carbonation. A Doppelbock from down under, and not bad at all. May you live in interesting times! Many thanks to Joren and Daniel!

[On tap at Hooked, Marahau, NZ.] A pale amber pour with a thick white head; peachy aroma with some tropical fruit; rather thin in the mouth with a peach taste; and a gentle fruity bitter finish.

Can. Very cloudy yellowish orange, large white head. Rather lemony aroma with wheaty crackers, cloves. Not soft or bready, but thin with sharp citrus and spices. Is this what they were going for?
