Blonde coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of malt and some miniscule hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Clean and bubbly mouthful with the standard light lager flavour. Aftertaste clean and refined. Overall, not the worst beer I could imagine, but definitely not the best. I sampled this on draught in Melbourne, Australia.

An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel as well as malt, while the body is thin.

Bottle - some Kiwi girls I knew in CA got all excited when they got a couple of cases of this. Have to say it is a very nice beer. Nice hop aroma - clean crisp and nice hops/malt flavor. And I can tell you that I couldn’t even come close to keeping up with them - a nice strong breed of women they were who earned my respect.

Bottle: Poured a golden colored beer with a standard head with no retention. Aroma is a mix of malts and skunk which doesn’t start too well. Taste is again dominated by that skunk taste (damn! People should know that green bottle are not made for imported beer) with a little bit of hops. Overall, this is another garbage macro lager. Won’t be seeking this again anytime soon.

Fully clear straw; slim, dense white head, reasonably lacey. Nose of chaff, some grain. Yes, this is probably what is called "crisp". Bit like fluid watered cornflake essence. And that's all there is. Restsugars leave tangible sticky impression - not nice. I had exactly the same motivation as another rater below; after unlikely countries as Tunesia, Albania, Laos and the Fiji Isles, I wanted finally to include NZL. Don't tell me this is what Elijah Wood and his hobbits were drinking at the Prancing Pony...

Light straw color, no head. Beer can't get much skunkier than my sampling. But hey, green bottle. Total skunk in aroma and flavor. Light grassiness apparent, then empty finish. Pretty light stuff.

Light amber color, medium sized tight creamy head. Acceptable aroma, grassy, lightly herbal hops. Light body with a musty hop and very clean finish. Nicely drinkable low alcohol beer. Has some "mild ale" qualities. A real drinker.

Nice colour but the one that i tried was a little skunky. With that aside, a sharp initial taste with lingering hops. Dry finish. Average beer. Get rid of the green bottles and the skunkyness and it may be better.

Pale, yellow colour. Fluffy head, nice lacework. Grainy aroma. Thin & bland flavour. Could be mistaken for Heineken or Carlsberg or Fosters or Lapin Kulta or.................

Light blond color. Light straw aroma. Very simple, with a light hay and honey taste. Too simple.
