Canned 2/24/26, drunk 3/14/26.
Sweet malts and fruity, estery yeast with a vanilla-like character (not sure from where). Very juicy, soft, round, succulent with tropical fruit and fresh squeezed citrus. Bit of earthiness, minor white grape, but not as much exciting mineral and other desirables that you'd hope from all these NZ hops. No alcohol noted, nor resin.
A bit herby/peppery/spicy. Kind of Fidensesque, with good, but not overly assertive malts up front drying out heavily on the end. Citrusy, spicy, not all that juicy, honestly, and no real white wine nor much mineral. But for 9% there's no syrup or excess sugar and there's no alcohol noted.

Pours a hazy, soft lemon-banana yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is a touch dank, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with a light sweetness underlying. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
