On tap. Aroma is floral, biscuit, malt vinegar. Flavour is quite sweaty, perhaps some caramel and biscuit trying to fight through, but mostly a sweaty start and a malt vinegar finish. Bad.

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.
