Monteiths Original Ale on tap at the brewery in Greymouth, NZ. Excellent clarity in this deep amber ale. Both flavor and aroma are a bit light for style; the lightest pale ale I’ve had in NZ. Still, very well-crafted and balanced, as well as very fresh (of course).

How does Monteith’s deep amber ale taste like?

Mouth feel: light to moderate in body with that over carbonation that pretty much ruins the beer. Overall: not a brilliant beer from Monteith’s, which is getting to be a standard. The carbonation is too high, which alters and ruins the flavour. Definitely not for AU$60 a case. Excellent clarity in this deep amber ale.
