Quite pale. Slight haze. Light fruity hop aroma, good mosaic, rambutan, clean pale malt. Medium bitterness, medium body, that hop expression - the white grapefruit, rambutan, and vaguely vinous character.

16 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is super bright on the NZ tangy hops, with some tropical melon, some pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is surprisingly prominent on the hop expression, with intense white wine-like hop tanginess, tropical melon, light pine, and some doughy malt. Wonderful hop combo and beautifully-structured pale. Excellent.

Poured from 473mL can (no date stamp). Chill hazed blonde with small white head. Tang and melon hops with light biscuit malt, comes together really nicely.

16oz can. Pours clear blonde with a small white head. Super dank and piney nose, melon; very vibrant hops. Flavour has a very dank and oily hop expression, melon, vibrant and fresh with a good amount of tanginess throughout, crisp biscuit malts. Damn this has a fantastic hop expression.
