On tap at OGH. Aroma is a little sharp, some dried fruit. Taste is the same raisin notes with some coffee bitterness and a small herbal (rosemary?) twist. Perfectly drinkable, but nothing special.

330ml bottle into (plastic) glass at Christchurch airport. Faint fruit smell, amber beer with thin film of scum on top. Lots of small bubbles. Laces well. Cloyingly sweet malt dominates with a little touch of fruity hop near the end before the sweet doughnut returns. 1000 better NZ beers available.

Pint on tap. Faint peppery nose. Dark red/black beer with solid foamy white head. Flat mouthfeel. Taste is smoky malts with a dry fruity chocolate metallic finish. Easy to drink but like Tui Dark claims 5 malts but has no depth of flavour. Drinkable but boring.

Pint on tap, Adelphi Kaikoura. Sparkling pale amber beer with solid white head. Steady carbonation. Hoppy vegetal nose. Watery and sad. Slight sweetness in the finish, lots of tin. Macro nightmare, hard to enjoy.

1st beer on holiday. 330ml can into glass. Pours copper golden with solid white head. Lightly carbonated. Aroma of wet cardboard and pepper. Mild sweet taste, a touch of vegetables and tin mixed in with the malty finish. Cheap quaffer.

Draft at the Prince of Wales, Singapore. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is sweet malt, woody hop. The flavour is light to moderate bitter with a light hoppy metallic palate. Light bodied with average carbonation.

*Old rating from 2010. Würzig-malziges Bitter. Frisch-erdig, nicht zu tief, sehr weich und süffig. Nicht schlecht.

Piwo w kolorze przypomina racsej amber niz gold. No ale niewazne. Piana srednia i nawet puszysta. Wytrawne i nieco karmelowe. Dosc wyrazny smak toffi. Jesli jest to lager to jakby nieco uszlachetniony. Mi pasowalo.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and citrusy hops, leading to a bitter finish.
