Mako Light Special Bitter Beer from DB Breweries in New Zealand is a delightful low-alcohol offering that strikes a fine balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness. This golden amber brew presents a light haze and a creamy head that dissipates slowly, inviting you to savor its aroma of fresh hops, citrus, and tropical fruits, with hints of caramel and toffee. On the palate, the initial sweetness from the caramel and toffee is met with a pronounced hop bitterness that lingers pleasantly. Prominent flavors of grapefruit, passionfruit, and pineapple are complemented by a touch of herbal, grassy notes, adding complexity and depth to this medium-bodied, crisp, and refreshing beer. The clean and crisp finish leaves a lingering hop bitterness, making Mako Light Special Bitter Beer a satisfying and thirst-quenching choice for those who appreciate the traditional English-style bitter with a modern twist.
