Followed up with a few the other night - was pretty disappointed. Saw the following on a different forum, so thought I'd post it - <a href="http://wasabi.typepad.com/intro/2008/03/authentic-roots.html">http://wasabi.typepad.com/intro/2008/03/authentic-roots.html</a> which talks about the new Monteiths brand.

Bought a dozen last night, and I am guessing it needs to be a lot colder than I drank it at as I would prefer rheineck....<br />
<br />
Then again my palete is somewhat of a virgin when I comes to beer tasting! (Bourbon and scotch on the other hand...)

It seems like it was brewed to provide some competition to Steinlager Pure. The beer was decent enough (somewhat similar to Carlsberg I thought), the label slightly disappointing, but the bottle was kinda cute. All in all, I'd probably drink it again I think

This beer surprisingly won class 5 (not necessarily meaning it is the 5th best beer in the world) of the 2007 International Beer Challenge in the catergory "Lager between 4.3% and 5.5% abv". Have a look.<br />

I notice it doesn't appear in the list of the 50 best beers of 2007, then again I don't think the list contains 50 beers????

I was really looking forward to the NZ release of this as I had read plently about how Monteiths were trying to crack into the UK market, so I thought if they could sell it over there, it must be okay. Had one on Friday at the pub. Admittedly, it was my 4th or 5th beer that night, but I was fairly coherent... I must say that I was more than a bit disappointed; it seems that they have made a beer that wont offend anyone and as a result I felt it was a bit bland. Maybe I was just expecting a bit…

I had my first one last night. Not bad, interesting fruity/bubblegum hops aroma. The best thing was it was free, we won 2 dozen yesterday :)<br />
<br />
I still prefer my own brew though...

Had one tonight, straight from the bottle, didn't spend much time 'analyising' it as such. Seemed like just another green bottle lager to me, not bad but not the best either.
