4.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, golden with a dense, white head. Aroma of malt and chikory. Fairly light in body, rather dry, some malts and a discreet bitterness in the finish. Actually this is quite clean and far from the worst Low Carb I’ve had. 130208

(Can 44 cl) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. There’s a light caramel aroma. Thin and watery body with weak malty notes and some sweetish caramel. Lightly metallic. Basically no bitterness. Yet another typical NZ Draught - they seem to come in dozens. 130208

(Bottle 74,5 cl) Pours a clear amber with an off-white head leaving some lacework. Lightly sweet caramel aroma. Medium body with sweetish malt, brewing cereal and caramel - but in a decent way for once. No real bitterness. For a NZ Draught this is one of the better ones. 120208

3.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
(Can 44 cl) Pours a clear, deep golden with a rough, off-white head. Aroma of malt and brewing cereal. Thin-bodied, some brewing cereal, cardboard, perhaps a little caramel - but dry, like the finish is dry with a basically absent bitterness. Pretty close to a DB Draught. 290108

A golden lager with a thick dissipating white head. A crisp malt aroma, with light hopping. In mouth, a decent lager, with crisp malt,light metallic hopping, and a peppery finish. Bottled as Bushman’s Premium Quality Lager

Light amber colour. Somewhat soapy aroma with a little grassy, perfumey hop. Moderate body. Sweet and slightly peachy, perfumey. Soft, sweet finish. Good example of style.

Clear gold, long lasting white head. Skunky, musty nose.Taste is bland except for a slight skunkiness, due to green bottle?
