Bottle at Nuku'alofa airport. Looks standard yellow, smells of tin and caramel. Taste is soft chewy grain and granulated brown sugar. Mouthfeel is full. A standard, boring, drinkable lager.

Clear medium gold body and fast disappearing bleach white foam, orangey fusel alcohol on the nose and nothing else. Flavour is middling lager with fruity esters. Cloying aftertaste. There is nothing to like here.

Very boring macro lager with slightly more floral hops thab usual. Forgettable, middling, yet not disgusting. Probably works in the context it was designed.

Live rating from the air! Has okay white foam and clear gold body with no visible carbonation. Smells of wet bread and vague lager hops. Flavour is more wet bread and sugar. Reasonably full on the mouth. Very middling.

Bottle from Isetan, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, hay, light toffee. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a light, watery, toffee malt, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

330ml bottle. Pours dull flat brown. Flat, caramel, toffee, touch of pear, little cereal, little biscuit, only a small twinge of stewed vegetables. Flat body. Honestly one of the better NZ draught macrobrews experiences.
