All day pale. The Sauvignon Bkanc of beer. The New Zealand hops are grown in the same region as the famous kiwi Sauvignon Blanc. Powerfully dry-hopped for a floral finish. Crisp and dry with a fresh-cut grass aroma.

Golden body, white head. Dry grainy malty aroma, similar taste, malt-dominated... Not as much hoppiness as one would expect here. Will rerate in the future.

Clear golden, citrus and caramel in the scent. Taste follows suit, with some nice, dry grapefruit. Slightly bitter / spur aftertaste. Solid.

Cask-conditioned at the Shakespeare, Prince Street, Bristol, 11/10/2016. Golden in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Biscuity malts, citrus fruits, leafy hops and a moderately bitter finish. Good.

(Cask at Craft Beer Covent Garden, London, 24 April 2016) Golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grapefruit, biscuits and grass. Malty, hoppy taste with citrus, grapefruit, lemon peel, grass, biscuits and a balanced citric bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and highly drinkable with a fresh hop character. Nice one.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of white wine, vine tomatoes and gin. Flavour of lemon, grassy hops and red pepper. Thin to medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Iād like to try this on cask.

500ml bottle into a Batemans badged UK pint sleeve at lunchtime on 11th Jan 2016. Slight haze to the golden pour, on top a white foam that hung around. Hop nose and flavour, fairly bitter and dry on the palate. Mild citrus notes but nothing too strong or overpowering it that area. Hops marry well and the light malt content stops the bitterness running away. Liked it.

On tap. Nice golden color, average white head, lacing. Nice smell too. Aroma has soft biscuits malts with loads of resin hops. Is this how NZ hops is like? Tastes good! Mild citrusy tones, lots of resin and hops. Body is medium to full, very filling. Taste is bitter, long bitter finish with hops, sticky. And incredibly enough this is just a 4.2 ABV, feels much more bigger than it really is. Very good one, loved it.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy, long-lasting white head. The aroma is grassy hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a citrus, big woody grass resin hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. There are plenty of hops in this! Medium bodied with average carbonation.
