This is the culmination of everything we know about modern haze. Pilsner, oats and wheat create a pillowy body, enriched with lactose for plush sweetness. Cascade in the mash, Motueka in the whirlpool, and a double dry hop with Motueka and Citra Abstrax deliver waves of lime, citrus and tropical juice.

From a 440ml can on 17/3/2026. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a biggish head. Those nose features a muted indistinct fruitiness with funky finish. It's very sweet on the sip, bordering on cloying, with pineapple, pear and some peach to the fore, which finishes with a slightly odd chemical finish. Fullish body with average carbonation. Drinkable, but just really messy and lacking in cohesion.

(Can) Pours very hazy golden yellow with small white head. Lovely fruity aroma with floral notes. Good texture. Medium bodied, smooth with fine carbonation, slightly sticky. Great taste, and quite unusual. It’s fruity with citrus and tropical fruit. There’s candy sweetness and pear drops. There’s lactose. Hint of bitter In the finish. Very enjoyable, and very unusual. It left my tastebuds confused and entertained.
