Bottle, 11C. Dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma has light roasted malt, lager sourness, chocolate, a little grass. Tastes of Coke-like caramel, chocolate and mild roasted malt. Mild roasted dry finish. A Schwarzbier from central casting but not very exciting for me. Good to see the Kiwi basketball team gets a beer, though.

Bottle best before the end of this month. Pale gold with a fluffy white head. Clean and lovely aroma has hay, flowers and earth with some light berries. Light bodied but not watery. Taste has some citrus, light bready malts and crisp bitterness. Spicy finish. The malt side is pretty light, but this is really good.
