Description
Back in the 1980s Terry and Bev McCashin took on New Zealand’s brewing duopoly from a small Nelson factory using their own recipes. They gave people more than just something to drink…they gave us choice. And so began the craft beer revolution…

[33cl can at a B&B in Waitomo.] A troublesome straw coloured pour with a billowing white head; herbal aroma with a touch of citrus; astringent chemical taste. Not at all pleasant.

Clear golden pour with a small white head; aromas of malt, hints of fruit and sweets. OK overall, taste could be a tad stronger.

Can. A golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of pine needles, citrus fruits, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruit, pine needles, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.
