Bottle, 11C. Bright clear amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of pine, kumquat, peach, caramel, lighter tropical fruit notes of lychee and gooseberry. Taste has peach and caramel, lots of citrus and some tropical fruits followed by a dry and bitter finish that leaves pine and grapefruit to linger. I find those lush Kiwi hops can be a bit overbearing and they’re well supported by more defined ones here. Nothing syrupy about it, alcohol dangerously well-hidden. Taut.

Pours amber with a large, fading head.Nose shows a mix of piny and tropical fruit-like hops, with soft passion fruit and pineapple. Soft clean malt underneath.Very malty flavours, but with a fair whack of pine and grapefruit to balance things out. Finishes with an assertive bitterness.Could use more carbonation.
