Tap at the RSA Westport, pours a water brown with some clumpy, white head. Malt nose, brown sugar, crackers, brown bread, some dried fruit. Flavor is simpler, just malt and black tea mostly, maybe a little date. Finishes medum bodied.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. Bargain bin at BWS! $2! Smells (and looks) like a shandy I would've had as a kid. Pale amber with dissipating bubbly white head, light carbonation. Beery lemonade aroma. Fairly tasteless at first, then a finish of cardboard and lemon. Lingering lemon at the end. Easy drinking but sweet. Surprised to see it is 5%, gives it some body.

From a 330ml bottle on 2/1/2019. Pours a clear deep golden with a small head. Smells more malty than hoppy. Tastes of biscuit malt, some orange sweetness, with some light grassy and herbal notes. Finishes with a gentle bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate to average carbonation. Mild and unexciting, but pleasant enough (and probably above average for a Monteith's).

On tap at Snug, New Plymouth. Crystal clear golden amber beer with a thin white head. Light carbonation. Very faint aroma of grain. Nice lacing. Full bodied, smooth with a light effervescence. Finish is short with some grainy bitterness and late sweetness. Not bad, perhaps a little too sweet for a Pils.

Ginger in the aroma. Dominant ginger flavor, with orange. Thin to medium bodied. Sweetish. Tonic. Fairly well made, but I just don’t like ginger.

Deep dark brown, almost black color. Apple juice, syrup and a bit of roast in the aroma. Just a hint of tartness. Roast, apple and pear in the sweetish flavor. Thin to medium bodied. A taste bomb.
