500mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has loads of kiwi upfront, with light piney and citrus fruity hops. Flavour screams out tropical fruits, especially kiwi, maybe a little mango and cantaloupe, and pronounced citrus hops. Despite the fruitiness, it has very low residual sweetness. Excellent.

Not quite sure what this collaboration honours - possibly marble benchtops. Bottle. Bright gold with a fine white head that lasts very well. Aroma of mandarins and kumquats, a little lime, gooseberry, light bread and hay. Nice gently wafty hops, but the hint of quality malt underneath lifts it a fair bit for me. Just medium bodied, no unintegrated alcohol. Quite sweet with mandarins, lime and some honeydew melon over bready malt that’s not quite as rich as suggested by the aroma. I suppose others will like what I found a little too clean. Moderate bitterness with fruity flavours hanging around. Good stuff.
