(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a slightly hazy golden with a creamy, off-whitehead leaving a neat, broad lacework. Aroma of fruit, diacetyl and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with a very soft and velvety mouthfeel, lots of fruit and a whiff of Belgian yeast. The finish is astringent and alcoholic. 310108

Bottled. Cloudy amber, very small head. Hoppy aroma of melon and mango. Medium sweet and near full bodied with soft mouthfeel. The bitterness is surprisingly low after all the hop aroma. A full sized ale displaying NZ hops, but perhaps not the most complex of their beers. Mussel Inn however rank as one of the most charming locations to have a beer anywhere.
