(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, deep golden with a creamy, lacing, off-white head. Very pleasant, peachy hop aroma. Medium-bodied with lightly sweet notes of caramel malt and then otherwise completely dominated by the rather sophisticated hop blend that leaves lots of flavour but not so much bitterness. A fantastic session beer. This may be based on an English style but with the Kiwi twist it certainly came out as a brilliant APA. 240108

Draught at The Malthouse, Wellington. Hazy amber. Yeasty, hoppy orange aroma. Medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. There’s some odd notes of curacao and plenty of citrus. An unusally yeasty, witbier like pale ale.

An unclear orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy with light notes of rotten fruit, and peach, as well as hints of coriander. The flavor is slightly dusty with notes of coriander. To me this is more Belgian than English.
