Keg at MS HWY, 03/11/2025.
Murky orange topped with a lasting white head.
Nose is pine resin, stone fruit, dank chimes, mandarin.
Taste comprises gooseberries, pine resin, stone fruit, dank spike, grass, mandarin, lychee.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spliced with juicy come resinous Kiwi soaked hop bitterness.
Solid Nelson and Riwaka punchy pale ... using these hops to as good effect as anyone else out there right now.
