NZ Macro beer but uncommon for me to by.
MAC's three wolves Pale Ale 5.1%
"Premium" Marco beer larping as a poorans craft beer. Generally like Mac's it's on of our better macro beers often on the short list when I but them. Options were limited on ANZAC weekend in a small store.
Poured very frothy but all disappeared reasonably quickly. Expectations weren't that great.
Taste was slightly bitter with mildly bhopy taste like most pale ales. More hops than ye olde traditional beer but less than a craft beer.
Still not a bad drop overall better than the Stoke poor man's ales I tried. At $12 usd a 6 pack it's about half the price of a reasonably priced craft beer and 50% more than normal priced beer.
Pretty good 7.5/10 but would probably go for 5 cans of 8.6, 6 cans of that Ukrainian beer or get some craft beers instead. It's competing price range wise with the 500mls Eurolager cans.
Could even be an 8/10 on a nice day.

Poor choice of colors on this label, but it's a really good beer!

Paderborner 4.8%
Lighting meh poured typical pale lager colour.
German Pilsner. Just felt like a lager this week taking a break from these hoppy pale ales. Think I've had this before but maybe not reviewed.
I'll go with Beer advocates 7.7. Seems easy enough to drink above average pilsner/lager. Enjoying it better than the last hopy NZ pilsner I drank which was Emersons. If I want a hopp beer I'll get an APA/IPA.
7.5 in the Zard scale maybe slightly better but not an 8 imho. Beer advocate is on the money.
Would drink again and reasonably priced at $2.10 usd a can roughly.
Would probably buy Krombacher though but local small supermarket lacked the bigger bottles at the same price and wasn't going into town to get them.
On second thoughts has a nice aftertaste liking it a bit more now. Might call it a draw with Krombacher and would have to have tgem side by side to do a fair comparison. Overall Ja for Paderborner.
Hmmn might upgrade to an 8/10 enjoying that aftertaste. Malty sweetness but not to sweet like 8.6.
