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…

(Bottle) Pours clear yellow with tiny white head. Aroma of grain with notes of damp straw and biscuit. Light bodied with good carbonation. There’s some notes of candy sweetness and some somewhat fruity tartness, and some slightly metallic bitterness towards the end. It’s drinkable but wouldn’t bother with a second one.

330ml bottle into shaker. From BWS, Glen Innes. Looks like mineral water, no colour. High carbonation, zero head. Smells like someone is eating a toffee apple in the next room. Recognisable but distant. Mouth full of bubbles, slight apple taste. Finish is lingering and leaning towards sherbet but not too sweet. Drinkable but it's like a half apple juice/ half mineral water spritzer.

330ml bottle from BWS Rockdale Plaza. Very pale yellow gold colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of light fruity apple. Taste is slightly sweet, apple, fruity, light citric. Thin mouthfeel, light bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi-dry finish. Very light and dilute, definitely not premium!
