33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small and chalk white head. Aroma is light citrusy and grassy, rather crisp and inviting. Citrusy, light cornish and crisp grassy bitter flavoured. Medium dry and vague citrusy flavoured finish. Good pale lager.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, eggs, and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of bread and light notes of cardboard. A bit boring. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

bottle. Ironic they are showing us some rough rubgy guys oin the beer, when this is actually some poor pathetic lager. Pours clear golden, thick white head. aroma, just weak, hops, some grains, malts, all in a weak way. Taste, hops, corn like flavor forward, sweet malts, reains better than many other pale lagers, dry finish, skunly metallic palate.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white micro head meringues and craters as it slowly recedes leaving spider lacing. Bright malt and mild hop aromas. Light and crisp with lemon and hops from front to back. Sour finish.

Overall Impression: Eh, OK, but hardly memorable, wouldn't turn one down, but wouldn't go out my way to get it.
Not sure I can remember another NZ beer that I've tried, is there another one I'm forgetting? I don't know.

Corn aroma. Light chemical, but not so bad, a lot better than I expected. Some hops. Yellow, and a little sweet.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color with a bubbly white head. Aroma is grass and hops, not to inviting either. Taste is sweet with crisp harvest/grassy notes, just enough hops to offset. Finish reminds me of eating nuts, possibly almonds.
