330ml can into glass. From Pak n Save, Whanganui. Pale yellow beer with a thin white head that diminishes to a film. Sweet nose, like a pineapple doughnut. Bit zingy, very sweet. Very light carbonation and fruity sweetness makes this an atypical lager. Bit weird, really.

The aroma is great lambic funk, soft grains, and vinegar. Has a soft carbonated foggy gold body with no foam. Flavour is very nice lambic funk and hay notes. Crisp carbonation on the mouth. This is an excellent attempt at the lambic style.

Smells of strong lambic funk, lemon notes, intense sourness, and wood barrel hints. Has heavily carbonated light yellow body and little foam. Flavour is intense bitterness on the lambic that doesn't add anything. The base beer is fine but I don't know how the fruit ended up turning it out this way. Mouthfeel is full with good aftertaste. There's a good base beer here but this experiment isn't working for me.

Smells of nice sweet lambic funk, soft fruit, and hay. Has a muddy brown-red body with fast disappearing head. Flavour is good lambic style but the sherries are soft and young and could be deeper. Crisp on the mouth. It's good in some ways but the cherry element is simply too far back.

Bottle in the auckland airport strata lounge. Middling white foam, clear gold body, heavy carbonation. Sweet lager hops on the nose. Flavour is deeper lager hops, slight biscuit.good mouthfeel, tingly carbonation. A nice lager, not exceptional but certainly a cut above.

Bottle at the Gavel Cafe, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus, grassy, resin hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, fruity, wet hop, light pepper spice, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A real hop fest and very drinkable.

330ml bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is Pilsner malt, hay, some light citrus, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light, crisp, malt, dry woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. A decent and rather inoffensive Pilsner. Fine for a session if this floats your boat. Comparable with some of the better European Pilsners.
