Our NZ Maori (very) pale ale. Dry, bitter and refreshing with a big punch from heavy late hopping with Waimea.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Bitton Beer Festival 3/6/2017. Pale gold in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Aroma of grapefruit and oranges, with some leafy hops. Flavour had more citrus fruit, with a slightly sharp edge, biscuity malts and a dryish finish. Fine.

Cask as Vog South Island, shared with Finn at City Arms. Crocheted lacing from a diminishing white head. Misty yellow coloured body. Moderate aroma of pineapple. Mid-dry fruity flavours, hints of lemon, pineapple and minerals. Restrained bitter fruity endnotes. Satisfying. (Cardiff 02.05.2017).

Hazy pale golden color with a white layer on top. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Fruity, citric and malty flavor. Could have been quite good with a better carbonation level and a bit more chilled.

25th July 2016: cask half-pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates. Poured a very pale gold with a full and lasting white head. Weak aroma, nothing coming from the supposed heavy late hopping of Waimea: that hop does however impart a bitterness and slightly citrus flavour to the brew, finish is dry, aftertaste, bitter.

Cask at NWAF, Derby, Thursday, 18th February 2016 Pours pale lemony gold with a lovely white head atop. Not too much on the nose. This is a jolly drinkable pale ale, a little furry hoppiness. Quite dry at the finish. A6 A5 T7 P4 Ov12 3.4
