Speight’s encapsulates the needs of thirsty yet discerning Southern Men. Probably the least sweet of all New Zealand mainstream brown beers, this characteristic allows the full flavour of the malt and hops to shine through.
Speight’s Gold Medal Ale is a great accompaniment to any meat dish and is superb with gamey Southern dishes such as venison, duck and rabbit.
Paul Boniface –
A lovely brown pale lager. Full of flavour and very drinkable.
John Sharp –
Very good 4% Pilsner with a clean, crisp taste.
Matthew W –
Pours a clear dark amber/brown with small off-white head, decent retention and lacing.
Aroma is malts with toffee and dough.
Taste is sweet malts, toffee, grass, pleasant but a bit thin.
Light to medium bodied.
I quite enjoyed it.
Chris H –
Really enjoyed the malty aspect of this lager. Sweet but not too much so. A very easy drinker.
Mr S –
A good pilsner from the land of down under. An easy drinker and a good 3.5/5 score.
