Clear, golden yellow-straw body. Clingy, white head. Smells of honey-dipped biscuits, caramel-coated fruit malt with slight butteriness. Restrained hop zest/bitterness. Moderately sweet, vague malt base. Light hay and butter. A touch of toffee perhaps. Hops are a little spicy and herbal and otherwise vegetal. Mediocre. LIght-bodied PA, with residual stickiness. Dry finish. Doesn't stand out.

Tried at the brewery, late Oct 2005.
Very unispiring brew this one, considering it was the first of their "craft range" I tried. Very weak watery looking dark amber, some head, but not much.
Smell was very bland. Almost nothing there, a little malty sweetness, but that was about it.
Taste was just about the same. A little sweetness followed by a hint of dry bitterness. Almost nothing to detect, very bland, no character, no depth. You could drink it, but I wouldn't recommend it.
I actually thought their run-of-the-mill Gold Medal Ale was better than this one.

NZ trip Jan/Feb '04
A member of Speight's Craft range.
Aromas of citrus and tropical fruits with some hints of esters.
Palate is clean, crisp and a touch creamy. Only some slight bitterness. Fruit flavours with only a hint of malt. Very nice.
Good Pale Ale, and at $10.50NZ / 6 pack an absolute bargin!
