It is another one of those bloody hot Sydney afternoons where you’ll simply be toasted if you live at the top floor without an air-con. I would challenge those stubborn heads (especially the politicians) who just don’t want to admit that global warming actually exists and is happening right now. Oh well, I can go on all day with global warming but it isn’t my game right now.
One of the nicest things to do in the summer is to grab a chilling beer from the fridge and listen to that “zeep” when you open the bottle. Of course, the most important part is when the ice freezing beer is being swallowed from your mouth, through the oesophagus and into your guts. “Arrrrrr… that’s nice”!!!
I bought this “Monteith’s Festive 8 pack” from Dan Murphy’s couple days ago along with the “Coopers family collection”. What I like about the assorted pack is that I can spend the same amount of money and taste 4~8 different types of beers. What i have discovered it that the assorted pack is like a summer thing here.

Monteith’s is a New Zealand brand, brewed in Greymouth located at the west coast of the South Island. Founded in 1868, Monteith’s is still a family own brewery who maintained their brewing traditions for almost 150 years.
Monteith’s Radler Bier (5.0%, 330 mL)
A very easy to drink, zesty and lemon flavoured larger beer. There was almost zero bitterness coming from the hob even after it has been exposed to the air. The key to the lemony twist was from the small amount of natural lemon juice added when the beer was brewed. The fruity sweetness at the end was actually sensed by the olfactory instead of taste. A very interesting drink, absolutely love it.

Monteith’s Crushed Apple Cider (4.5%, 330 mL)
I can almost taste the green apple as it was grabbed from the tree. The flavour of ripened apple dominates the drink as well as the fruity sourness. I can understand where the market segment fits in, but it certainly is not mine. I’ll have it to accompany with food when it’s a perfect match, otherwise I would use a Radler to serve the purpose of “summer drinking”.

The bobbles from the Radler were so fine that it was almost like a cappucino foam. It was simply delightful.
"All Beer is Good. Some Beer is Better" totally agree!!
