Massive amount of stable foam. Nice orange color. Looks great! Mango-grapey aroma, reminds me of some other Sauvin beers I’ve tried. Taste is sweet-fruity, red berries, tropical fruits at the beginning, caramely, then a great bitterness towards the finish. Superb New Zealand IPA, and a nice beer for my 175th rating :)
