Judges Comments:

Well, it’s about time! And it’s time to remind yourself why this durable and loved beer has been around for nearly 70 years. It was first brewed in 1958 — and has won both international awards as well as global recognition as a symbol of Aotearoa in various sporting arenas. Popping the top, you get that distinctive grainy-lemon-sulphur aroma. Full-bodied, super smooth and with that distinctive sweet-lemon character, it finishes clean and refreshing.
