The description said: Based on the German-Kolsch style with the use of the famous New Zealand Saaz (Motueka) hops. Baroona is brewed with 90% pilsner malt and 10% malted wheat and is top fermented. It recommends to pair it with spicy food.
It poured a clear hay yellow with a touch of brown to it. It had flavors of grapefruit, citrus, hay and grass on the nose. It tasted very light, pilsnery with a very very faint touch of hops. Overall it did not have much flavor and I would disagree about it pairing with spicy food. Spicy food needs something substantial in flavor to stand up to it and you would think it might, according to its description of hops, but there wasn't much to this beer. So I would recommend pairing with it with simply grilled fish, smoked salmon, or anything pickled.

Definite kiwi(NZ) hops in use here, heaps of kiwi fruit/passionfruit, pretty light texture otherwise, simple, tasty and easy to drink. Never too complex or anything, just nice, fresh, fruity, with quite a crisp refreshing finish, pretty standard, but in a more interesting sort of way.
