Pretty large pub spreading over several room and with a big terrace outside. Packed on Friday afternoon, very loud and busy. We tried to squeeze in in the more quiet library room in the back. 14 beers on tap, all NZ micros except Guinness. Mostly more sessionable middle of the road styles. Cask didn't seem to be in the perfect condition. Not bad for a quick visit.

Had cask on two occasions, the one at For and Tap was better. Black with beige head. Nice roasty malts, chocolate, cocoa, moderate sweetness with bitterish finish. Smooth texture.

Medium sized taproom, nice bright interior with lots of wood. Lacking some details which would give it a more cozy feel, but still a very nice setting. Tanks are visible in one corner of the building. 8 taps of their beers, steering towards traditional and lighter styles. Quality wise the beers were good, but there is room for improvement. Food is served and it seems to be place where people tend to come for lunch. Nice taproom worth checking out.
