Speight's, Gold Medal Ale (New Zealand)
Now brewed by giant Lion-Nathan, this well-respected south island beer from Dunedin pours a light ruby/amber colour with fine white head. It has a gently malty nose, with a bit of depth and a soft, generous hoppy character. On the palate it is very sippable, with a nicely balanced style, but no real bite or complexity. Decent session stuff, and very drinkable, but doesn't get me particularly excited. 33cl. 4.0%ABV. £1.29 Onlyfinebeer.
