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".

11.15 oz bottle into English pint. Classic green bottle skunk aroma. Cheap grain, also. Pours a clear golden hue with a thick dissipating head that leaves a scrim of foam and nice spotty lace. Big bubbles float to the surface. Taste is skunk, corn, a little sweet. Slightly above your average macro, but not much. Medium-high carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Better than average for this style, but I’ll never buy it again (I only bought it to get New Zealand on the map).
