(On tap) Clear, golden with an off-white head that leaves some laces. Rather neutral aroma - a whiff of malt perhaps. Medium body with a good, clean, malt base, some flowery notes and a fairly solid bitterness. A very clean and distinct Bohemian style pilsener SO far away from the traditional, sticky NZ lager. 250108

(On tap) Clear, pale golden with a small, white head. Weird aroma of fruit bubblegum. Thin body, sharp chemical and artificial fruit notes. Also somewhat astringent, chemical finish. Supposedly an apricot wheat? 250108

On tap at Speight’s bar, Temple. Sweetish malt aroma. OK in mouth, bit too sweet. Decent tingly hop on finish. Hop had a sting. Malt is a little syrupy.

On tap at Speight’s bar, Temple. Pale gold, lasting off white head. Hop is quite distinctive. Interesting nettley hop. OK in mouth, bit of sherbert. Hop is quite biting. Good beer. Nettle/cat’s pee from the sauvin hops. Cool.

(Can 33 cl) Courtesy of Bov. Clear, amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving some lacework - far from your typical pale lager look. Lightly sweet, malty nose. Fairly light body with weak caramel notes and a lightly bitter finish. Drinkable but rather bland. Oh sweet memories.... 290607
