Schooner on tap at Szimpla near Auckland Airport. Crystal clear amber beer with a thin bubbly white head. Light carbonation, nose is guava and assorted tropical fruits. Clingy lacing. Zingy with some bitter hoppy woodiness. Tasty, easy to drink. Dry and fruity in the finish. Nothing ground-breaking but pleasant enough.

Pours with very light gold, some carbonation, and tiny foam. Muddy hops like dirt and a hint of unsweetened malt on the nose. Flavour is meaty vegetably hops and nothing else. Okay oiliness on the mouth but the lack of sweetness and malt is troubling. It's more of a jumbled unsweetened IPA.

On tap at the brewery. Pours sickly pale. Mango, peach, bread, lemon, slightly messy savoury finish.
