Draught at Kaschk. Cloudy dark golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is bready and quite bitter. Good mouthfeel, though.

Backlog June 2018 as Tuatara Kapai. Almost clear golden body under a small, white head. Aroma has malt and fruity hops. Fresh and fruity taste, light medium sweet malt, citric and tropical hops, hint of marmalade and decent bitterness. Medium body and fruity hops in aftertaste as well. Nice and easy going.

Nearly orange color, filtered with an off-white head. The aroma is slightly fruity, sweet with strawberry and a little quince. The taste is light, a little sweet, medium bitter and fruity in the throat. The exit is a little spicy.

(Bottle) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Malty, hoppy nose with orange peel, pineapple, mango, passion-fruit, honey and a touch of resin. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of orange peel, bread, apricot marmalade, toast, passion-fruit, gooseberries, caramel and a generous citric, resiny bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well made pale ale, with a good hop presence. Very nice.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 5.8%. Clear deep golden colour, large white head. Aroma of fruity NZ hops, notes of crushed white grapes and crushed gooseberries, also citrus and tropical fruits. The flavour is fairly bitter throughout, more bitter than fruity (nearly medicinal), medium dry, with an insufficient malty backbone.

Tap at My Bar. Clear darker golden with off white head. Grapefruit, light grassy, dank hops, clean malts with soft cara and pils notes. Almost medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with clean crisp and oily feel. Quite clean and fresh with some balance between the malts and hops instead of the usual NZ dankness onslaught.
