There was a bright golden amber colour, with a light to moderate head. There was a moderate hop fruit aroma. The taste had light malt, and medium crispness with pilsner fruit, smooth malt character, and a crisp finish. This beer was fairly well balanced, but lacking intense flavours. It was brewed in Auckland.

Note 1 I am not really a beer expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these beers. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these beers as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on freshness and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
