Friday Frothy #2

Woohoo, beer o'clock, and todays beer is Monteiths Gold Lager, from Noo Zeeland bro!!

Why, because it looked like a good beer and it was on special a while ago, and it was the last variety of beer left in the fridge at work.




Flavour; Light, mellow, slightly hoppy, sweet, honey, banana's??

Carbonation; Vigorous carbonation at first pour, poor head retention.

Colour; Golden, durr, as the name suggests

Price; On special at thirsty camel for $13/6 pack

Alcohol; 5%
Packaging; Nice cardboard box, not much money spent on graphic design for the label

Food Pairing: Satay chicken
Overall rating; 5/10...For me it's a bit of a nothing beer..OK if you like an unfermented wort smell and taste in your beer. Leaves a sticky feel in your mouth. I'm not a real lager man, and this beer hasn't helped the lager cause. The Monteiths' website says this beer has a "smooth crispness with a refreshing mouthfeel to the beer". Not so sure about that.
