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.

Bottle to drink in celebration of New Zealand comedy with Flight of the Conchords. Pours a thin yellow/gold with a fairly large and fizzy, white head. Aromas are skunky hops (like Becks). Flavor is sweet corn malt and skunky hops... not bad, not great. Good summer brew.

This beer is a clear pale golden color with a medium thick and foamy white head that diminishes slowly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Lightly skunky aroma with mild hops and grass. Light, clean body with light hops and malt, corn and hay flavors. The finish is clean and short with a mild hops flavor and aftertaste. Pretty boring overall.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear golden with a white head. Sweet raspberry aroma - this has the aroma of Red Bull! Medium body with extremely sweet fruit notes - raspberries. And again absolutely no bitterness. Obviously an attempt aimed at the RTD segment. 120208
