(On tap) Clear, golden with a dense, white head that leaves some laces. Lightly sweet aroma of malt and brewwing cereal. Medium body with fairly sweet malts and brewing cereal. A classic Kiwi lager - just with a bit more body. 250108

Malty, chocolatey, with a decent backbone and balance, but fairly straight forward and lacking great depth. Still very drinkable.

Bottle. Dark brown color with a bubbly light-brown head. Roasted malt aroma with dark chocolate and a bit of coffee. Sweet Flavor is roasty, malty, with a bit of chocolate and some caramel. A rather dry finish with roast and notes of hops. Body is a bit too light. Not a great schwarzbier, but decent.

Bottle. Clear golden with a medium, bubbly, quickly-diminishing white head. Aroma is of lemon and lime - smells to me quite similar to Sprite. Very sweet, artificial, lemon and lime flavor with faint hints of malt. Doesn’t taste like beer at all. Light-bodied. Tastes like a soda, and not a good-tasting one. Yuck.

Bottle. Red-amber color with a medium beige head.. Aroma is malty, with some smoke, a bit of caramel, and maybe slight hoppiness. Sweetish malty flavor with some toast, caramel, a bit of metal and a rather dry finish. Quite light-bodied. Pretty weak.

Das Bier startet sehr mild, eigentlich ist nur ein leichter Getreideton zu erkennen. Die Note wird im Mittelteil etwas metallern, sonst ändert sich nichts. Wässriger Nachgeschmack mit malzigem Unterton. Zumindest soll er das wohl sein. Test vom 24.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,4,6,3,10,4 - 4,65

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is earth, malts and gops. Very unclean feeling to it. Flavour is very much hayish hops along with barnyard.
