Smell-weak, hops. Foam- thin, bitter-sweet, citrus, hops, non-alco ish again, but not as much to give a minus yet. Head is small, white, maybe yellow tint. Appearance- brewer bottle cap, simple label. From - snifter Taste - bit juicy, some hops, malt, citrus. There is faint nasty bitter-sweetness in back what I usually associate with non-alco beers, but is so faint here, I can't give it a minus. Generally, alcohol is well hidden, this is a bit juicy, not bad, but nothing special also.

Light haze on this paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Slightly largerish malts, a light creamy sweetness. The Motueka is nowhere near as punchy as I was expecting but then this was brewed in January! Who the fuck sold me this? Sigh! Slightly pithy citrus, good smooth floral hop. Trace of lime. Finishes slightly warning and with some hop spice coming through. Not too bad but was likely a lot better when fresher. Well duh!

Draught. Murky amber, little head. Weak retention. Sugared malts and American hops on nose. Full body. Creamy palate. The flavour is full of solid pale malts and tropical hops. Medium to heavy bitterness. Good but not that easy to drink.
