(On tap) Pours deep amber brown with tiny white head. Nice pine and citrus aroma. Looks guy body with good carbonation. Plenty of hops but nicely balanced by light toffee and tangy fruit. Nice beer.

Pint on tap at brewery. Golden bronze colour with solid foamy white head. Looks fantastic. The occasional bubble ascends. Light aroma of oranges and malt. Slight zing, lightly bitter taste. Finish is more bitter with touches of orange zest over some biscuity malt. Excellent, well balanced and quaffable.

On tap at Wig & Pen, pours a hazy bronze with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a good citrus and pine hop component, and biscuity malt on the underside. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, some light citrus and a bone dry biscuity malt backbone. Well-balanced and drinkable. Solid.

I don’t know what this beer is like normally, but they poured it through a Randall and damn if that didn’t do the trick. Hazy and light amber. Thin head. Stick your head in a bag of hops...sauvin and galaxy(it’s actually NZ Galaxy). Ultra bitter, but with pale malt backing, no chewy shit. Ballsy APA.

Very dark brown color with a bit of caramel in the nose. Very malty with toffee, coffee and modest body. Not bad.

Tap. Clear golden amber with a cream head. Aroma of gooseberry, biscuit, passionfruit - v sav blancy. Light bodied. Tastes as it smells with firm slightly spicy bitterness. Wouldn’t have minded just a little more sweetness. Refreshing, nice balance of fruity flavours but neither hoppy enough to be just about them or with enough presence to be wholly satisfying.
