33 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange. Mild breadish malt aroma. Flavour is subdued sweet, a bit vague yet with a light breadish malt base. Ends medium dry and light malty.

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

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear amber golden with a small, rough, off-white head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Medium in body with some malts and sweetish caramel and a touch of metal. A subdued hint of hops in the finish. Drinkable though. 120208

(Bottle 74,5 cl) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving laces. Aroma of caramel and fruit bubblegum. Medium body with light notes of caramel and corn - perhaps even a little sweet fruit. No real bitterness. Classic NZ swill that quenches your thirst without insulting anybody. 110208

(Can 33 cl) Clear, amber golden with a dense, rough, off-white head. Almost no aroma - perhaps a little caramel. Light in body with very sweet brewing cereals and some caramel. A bit low in carbonation. Basically no bitterness. Poor. 100208
