300ml can. Pours yellow with a thick white head. Sweet, grass, apricot, little acidity towards the end. Crisp, clean and pretty boring.

330ml bottle. Pale clear straw colour with a small white head, fairly good retention. Aroma: slightly sweet malt, grassy hops. Taste: sweetish malts, slightly fruity citrus hops, a light hoppy bitterness. Overall quite pleasant for a lager, clean, crisp, and wasn’t skunked. Medium carbonation, light body, thin texture, dryish finish. Yeah, not a bad lager at all.

Can into glass. Clear amber beer with bubbly white head. A few tiny bubbles. Good body for 3.5%. Sweet malt taste, slightly vegetal finish. Super cheap NZ supermarket beer. Not horrible but really only for those who value price over quality.

Tall thin green can on a New Zealand Airline flight from London to Los Angeles on 25th April 2016. Typical lager/pilsner look, golden and bright with a fast fading white head. Very little aroma or taste, but refreshing and clean. A little more grain than hop in the brew flavour wise maybe and unoffenceive f a might boring.

Dorada muy clara con blanca espuma muy abundante. Rico aroma citrico y malteado. Muy ligera y suave, superbebible. Mantiene el buen tono del aroma, tirando algo a dulce. Media carbonatacion. Buena lager

Bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Clear golden color, small to average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, quite crisp and clean, a slight grainy sweetness and a nice malt bitterness. I must say I just got home from an intensive workout so I was thirsty as hell. Anyway, I liked it.
