440ml can. Murky golden with a creamy white head, great retention. Aroma of mango, grapefruit, gooseberry, grape. Taste is light sweet, mango, grapefruit, ripe stone fruits, gooseberries, grape and a bit of a dank finish, light hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft. Really solid NZ hopped haze.

Can direct from Fierce. It pours turbid cloudy pale gold with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is super fresh, green, weedy, dank, greengage, melon, kiwi, lemon - lime, orange peel, mango, orange blossom and some floury bread. The taste is firmly dry, crisp, snappy, green, weedy, pithy, zesty, zingy citrus, green fruits, melon, greengage, ripe mango, fragrant, floral vibes, nip of booze and floury bread with a drying, green finale. Medium body and moderate, velvety carbonation. Super fresh and bright. Really like it.
