Bottle brought back by Wombata. Bright, clear golden color with a tight head. Big, clean hop nose, honey malts, citrus. Great nose. Minerally flavor, crackers, grass, hay. Strong bitterness. Not much malt. A bit thin. Nose and mouth are very different in this beer. Fun stuff.

(bottle) Clear golden with good big white head. Lovely hop aroma - floral and citrus - with hints of peppery spice. Light body, well carbonated. Sweet and citrusy start with a good long bitter finish. Lots of hop flavours but with nice level of bitterness. Overall a very nice well hopped ale.

Pours pale amber with a lasting white head.Nose shows herbal and spicy hops with some faint bready malt.Flavours are on the hoppy side, more herbal and spicy notes along with very soft caramel backing. Fairly hoppy finish with a bold bitterness.

Bottle. Pale gold with a large white head (that’s ahem, downy splendour) . Aroma of gooseberries, lychees, lemon sherbet, white pepper. Soft mouthfeel. A very little light biscuit, tropical fruits, rippling spices at the crisp, bitter finish. As good as, but more Kiwi hop accented than their normal pale ale.
