Can. An amber beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt as well as light notes of metal. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and metal, leading to a bitter finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Credited to Ward’s Brewery - presumably the oldest in NZ. Clear, deep golden with a dense, creamy, shaving foam style head that leaves lumpy laces. Sweet aroma of malt and caramel. Medium-bodied, a little low in carbonation and cloyingly sweet. Almost sticky with all its caramel notes. No bitterness. Standard NZ Draught. 260108

Canned. Pale amber, rich head. Light dusty hop aroma. Dryish and light bodied with rounded mouthfeel and surprising notes of toffee. Not bad at all for a macrobrew.

Dark golden-amber colour. Moderately doughy aroma with some light grassy-sweaty hop accents. The flavour is light, based around pale malts but with metallic and grainy hints, and a slightly astringent mineral note in the finish. Drinkable, but I would have preferred more follow-through from aroma to flavour, especially with regards to the subtle hopping. In the flavour, that hopping a wee bit too subtle.
