Golden style lager beer is a refreshingly smooth beer type brewed in the classic full bodied style of western Europe - from Munich to Amsterdam to Copenhagen.
Many continental European peoples came to New Zealand around the turn of the last century just as the brewing of well hopped bright golden beers was truly taking hold on the "continent". The malty body of the lager style was quickly adapted to the New Zealand climate and lifestyle.
However, it only gradually found it's place in New Zealand; growing in acceptance decade by decade through the 20th century - particularly in the cities.
The original golden lager beer style is often faithfully recreated.          
Rich nutty malt characters are balanced with mellow hops for a sophisticated finish - a memorable taste experience. 1046 1046
