Bottle - Sweet tropical fruits, orange and a bit of the candy floss. Cloudy orange and thin white head. Woody, orange and some other fruity flavors I just can’t place. A resinous dry finish. Very pleasant with flavors I am not familiar with.

500 ml bottle. Pours a yellow/brown with light head. Bright aromas of toffee and green unripened fruit (peaches and apples). Flavor of tobacco, toasted malts, spruce, brown sugar, and light resin. So this is what fresh NZ hops taste like? Much better than the standard HopWired. I’ll have another.

Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012, London. Fresh grass and grapefruit in the nose. Medium to big sweet flavor with some grass, dirt and grapefruit rind. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately resinous to finish with further rindy citrus character. Good.
