Big Helga Dry Munich Style Lager

Rating: 4/10
Frankly, can't recall it too well other than the smoothness. I would not mind retrying.

Knappstein Reserve Lager

Rating: 3/10
Refreshing floral aroma, pleasant but short body and metallic aftertaste.
I could comprehend the "wine-like" taste(as described on the label) the beer is trying to achieve. However the aftertaste lasted long and it was excessively overpowering. Perhaps a bad bottle.

Emerson's Old 95

Rating: 7/10



"This strong heady ale is full-bodied with toffeeish malt sweetness followed by complex, fruity notes and hop flavours. The late palate is full of floral hop flavours, followed by a long lingering bitterness." - www.emersons.co.nz
