This beer's colour was strong amber orange brown, and it had a moderate head. There was a crisp hop fruit aroma, and the flavour was very bitter hoppy with citrus grapefruit, and a light malt balance. This beer was intensely flavoured with quite good balance. It won a BrewNZ 2004 gold medal.

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.
