Can (11/11/25) from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque, milky banana smoothie yellow with decent head and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, orange; chalky, tropical fruit Smarties; pineapple. Taste is strong stone fruit, citrus, biscuit. Smooth, creamy, thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation, a sip with hint of alcohol but vanishes, dry, mostly malty finish with light bitterness to offset the hops. Not a TH standout but a good beer nonetheless.

16oz can pours a super starchy yellow, translucent, clumpy white head. Nose has limes and passionfruit, some apricot too, grassy, wheat. Flavor follow, tangerine and orange, peach and lime and lychee. Well balanced. Some chewing gum on the end. Dangerously easy to drink.

Pours a very hazy, orange-butterscotch, with thick, mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with some stone fruit in the mix as well. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

16 oz can in a trade with Clarkvv. Thank you! Aroma is luscious with grapefruit and orange nuances. Mild white baked bread. Taste exactly as the aroma would lead you to believe. Very mild Pine-like bitterness to balance the fruit. Soft, supple mouthfeel, and it also drinks lighter than the ABV suggests.

Canned 11/11/25, drunk 11/21/25, as pictured.
Not in love with the slightly punchy/twangy pineapple and slight herbal spiciness of the nose, though it's certainly far from offensive. Rich, honey-like malt does help out and there's a good deal of chalky mineral character and earthiness that is interesting. No alcohol or resin, at least.
The flavor, however, is quite dissimilar and shows the rich, supple, honey-like malt balancing a pretty easygoing (none of the punchy pineapple from the nose) hoppiness. Light-to-moderate bitterness is mostly ample. Pretty homogeneous flavors with good prevalence of tropical fruit and mineral from the NZ hops. Complete lack of herbage, twang or overripe pineapple in the flavor really goes a long way.
