750mL growler, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a cloudy opaque blonde with a medium pillowy white head. Aroma brings out the usual awesome floral and meadowy hops, some slightly tangy herbal notes, and some light biscuity malt. Flavour is super fresh, with loads of floral hops, fresh meadows, slightly tangy notes, and dry crackery malts in the back. Extremely dry, as with all Hill Farmstead hoppy beers, with extremely high drinkability. Finishes highly floral and slightly tangy almost in a vinous way. Awesome stuff.

On tap at Blackback over the weekend. So stoked this beer was re-brewed! One of my favorite hops and my favorite brewery for pale ales. WOOHOO. Lovely orange appearance (like juicy juice) with a fluffy head. Nice and tannic nose, a bit spicy and juicy like grapefruit zest. Nice acidic undertones. That great taste of mineral and zesty qualities that I love in NZ hops is very apparent. It’s soft and delicate, the low ABV really allows this hop to shine. Loads of bitterness for miles, fruity, juicy, grape skin like. very brisk clean finish.

From tap at Three Penny Taproom. Pours hazy yellow with a small, creamy and white head. Aroma is peachy, grapes and slight leathery. Bitter, light herbal and sweet grapes. Crisp, smooth and light bitter finish. 3.8 Even more smooth, balanced and crisp at the brewery. 4.0
