We brewed this hazy pale ale as a lighter take on our beloved Dart Frog, packing all the flavor into a more easygoing crusher. Hopped with Nelson Sauvin and Motueka, it pours straw yellow and pops with tropical fruit, juicy white wine grape, and fresh berry notes. Smooth, balanced, and endlessly drinkable.

Can (8/14/25) from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Cloudy pale yellow, tons of sparkle, large head with good retention and clumps of soapy lacing. Aroma is white grape, white wine, berry, mild citrus, yeast, an almost peppery spiciness. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, slightly thin, texture, soft carbonation and dry, chalky, finish as taste. Good strength of both aroma and flavor of nice grapey, vinous Nelson. A little thin.

Canned 8/14/25, drunk 10/31/25.
Heavily hazy, pale, brass-maize-golden. Big, rocky, dense, off-white head.
Earthy pineapple and other, more dry tropical fruits with big, chalky mineral and soft white bread from the malt (some cracker too). Nice and aromatic, robust, clean. Big, estery yeast.
Soft and juicy with drying dry hop and lots of chalky mineral. Quite attenuated, but it's lower bitterness so not problematic. Some crackery malt comes forth quite prominently. Just a touch drier and yeastier than I'd like. Not much softness/deepness of texture or juice of which to speak.
