Caramel malt, pine, and grapefruit aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet orange, caramel malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel and pine flavor. Nice body.

500ml bottle from Countdown outside Christchurch airport at hotel in Queenstown. Clear orange-golden pour with sudsy white head. Aroma is zesty grapefruit hops with crisp biscuit malt. Taste is bracing resin bitterness with some grapefruit and pilsner-y malt. Classic west coast DIPA style, very pine and grapefruit. A bit like Pliny. Very good.

(Bottle) Hazy amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, orange peel, mandarin, caramel, resin, apricots, lychee, toffee, honey and tropical fruit. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, orange peel, apricot marmalade, caramel, toffee, tropical fruit, resin and a generous citric/resiny bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Really well made and tasty DIPA with impressive amounts of citric/resiny hops and malt to back it up. Excellent beer!

Tap at Vultures Lane. Clear golden with cream colored head. Grapefruit, peach, light citrus, dank weeds, caramel, sugary malts, light alcohol, grassy. Over medium sweet, bitter and bodied. Also had it from bottle and it seemed a little fruitier.

Tap at Lager Lager. Clear amber, low offwhite head. Tropical fruit purée hop aromatics, pine. Medium to full, resinny mouthfeel, pineapple, apricot and dragonfruit candy. A wee bit too sweet for my taste.

Draft at Slowbeer, Fitzroy. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is dry malt, light citrus fruit, resin woody alcohol hop. The flavour is moderate sweet with a somewhat smooth malty fresh fruit woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A great example of the style with well hidden alcohol.
