Monteith’s Tasting Notes

Monteith’s Crushed Apple Cider (4.5% alc)

A premium cider crafted from sun-ripened Nelson fruit. The apples have been crushed to retain the fruit’s natural flavours. The apple juice is then patiently fermented to deliver a revitalizing premium Cider.

- Size: 24 X 330ml

Monteith’s Black Beer (Crisp & Smooth) (5.2% alc)

The beer is crisper than sweet darks and smoother than harsh stouts. It’s a beer that is crafted from a blend of five premium malts to create a complex depth of flavours with coffee notes dominant.

- Size: 24 X 330ml

Monteith’s Original Ale (Richly Hopped) (4% alc)

The beer delivers a full, round and complete beer flavour. It’s the hops that dominate aroma and taste. However, on closer inspection, there’s a subtle blackberry aroma which originates from the female flowers of the Pacific Gem Hops.

- Size: 24 X 330ml

Monteith’s Golden Lager (Naturally Malted) (5% alc)

The beer has a fresh natural yeastiness in the aroma and a smooth malty character. There are just enough hops for a crispness that makes it a really refreshing beer. Enjoy the smooth rounded cashew nut flavour that is coaxed from premium Munich Malts.

Monteiths Summer Ale (5% alc)

Summer ale is the perfect treat – freshly brewed for the summer season. It is a bright-gold beer bristling with magnificent flavours, and only available for a few fleeting months. It has the zing of a beer that has been skillfully spiced, and the smoothness of a lager made with four premium malts. All this balanced by the delicate touch of Rata honey. It has become the quintessential Kiwi thirst-quencher, especially served ice cold with a wedge of orange or lime.

- Size: 24 X 330ml

Monteith’s Doppelbock Winter Ale(6% alc)

Monteith’s Doppelbock Winter Ale is a robust brew, faithful to its Bavarian origins. A profound enveloping winter beer. It is a smoothly rich beer with a dense head, a powerful aroma, and chocolatey malt notes — the perfect way to cheer yourself up this winter.
