Speight's is the beer of choice after a hard day's work. Probably the least sweet of all New Zealand beers, this characteristic allows the full flavour of the malt and hops to shine through. Speight's Gold Medal Ale is a great accompaniment to any meat dish and is superb with Southern game dishes such as venison, duck and rabbit.

A bright watermelon colour with a bouquet of punchy strawberry and raspberry notes, complemented by red apple and jasmine blossom along with a touch of yellow fleshed peach. On the palate, vibrant red fruits of the forest along with a touch of sweetness introduce the wine, flowing into a juicy mid-palate with white peach notes and the wine is driven by red cherry and berry in harmony with natural acidity.
