Can, undated, but they did bother to print ZESTY on the bottom instead of the date, which is just completely insane. Drunk 9/7/25.
Very pale, rust-tinted bronze-golden. Big, fluffy, white head.
Juicy and intense with zesty spice more of the NZ variety instead of herbal. Not sure how they managed that. Succulent malts show honey and white bread and there is no resin or alcohol.
Rich, malty, but drying out, with tons of white wine character or maybe more orange wine-like, actually, on account of a big salinity. Juicy, zesty, malty, balanced. No weirdness. Amazing to get so much NZ-like character out of these American hops. Lots of rich melon and tropical fruit.
