Warning! Early amateur rating! Bottle in Raratonga. Very light and watery beer. A hint of citrus but just a poor beer.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Bottle in Raratonga. Fairly full on lager. Rich malt and slightly bitter. Full bodied but overall nothing special.

11.15 ounce green bottle - wtf? - lightly hazy gold with a soapy head - smell of light honey, yeast and lightly skunky hops - damn you green bottle -damn you to hell! - lightly sweet up front, but dries out pretty fast - dusty yeast character - moderate bitterness - faint acidity - finishes a bit grassy and grainy - as with most pale lagers, it isn’t anything all that good, but certainly better than the overall score suggests - would probably be fairly good fresh.

330ml bottle carried back home from London. Dense, chalky head slowly fading over a golden body. Pale malts to the nose. Ditto taste with a papery dry touch. Lacking hops. Soft and sweet. Below par for the style (shared with Finn, Tromsø 27.10.2010).

Flaske 0,33l delt med Rune. Lys gylden. OK kremskum. Metallisk aroma. Lett på smak: Svakt fruktig men mest vann. Søtlig avslutning.

Bottle. Poured piddle yellow with thick fast dissipating head. Very little lacing. Aroma is a little grassy hop, a little malt, a little skunk. Light bodied, malt flavour marred by greasiness. Malty finish would have been better without more greasiness. Maybe I’m drinking this in the wrong hemisphere

Can picked up in a liquor store in Greymouth. An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of citrus, straw, and malt. The flavor is very sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry and alcoholic finish inspite of it only being 4% ABV.

330ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Typical Germanic style lager. Pale straw in colour with a billowing white head that falls back very quickly; grassy aroma; grainy flavour; and a weakly bitter straw-like finish. I hope this isn’t "New Zealand’s finest lager".
