(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

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5
(On tap) Clear, pale golden with a small, white head. Lightly perfumy aroma - essence or flavouring? Medium body with lightly sweet malt and some hard to define fruit accents. Dry finish. Refreshing alright but quite unspectacular. I have since been informed that this contains coriander, tangelo, camomile and ginger. 300108

(On tap) Clear golden with a bubbly, dissipating, white head - I guess ginger isn’t good for head retention? Distínct aroma of ginger. Medium-bodied with lightly sweet citrus and ginger notes. Dry finish with a spicy and tangy ginger bite. 300108

(On tap) Clear, pale golden with a small, white head. Aroma of mash - somehow unfermented. Thin and watery, a little brewing cereal and almost no bitterness. No real citrusy freshness of the NZ Hallertau as the description in the beer menu promises. 300108
