Strong notes of citrus shouldn’t surprise anyone who reads the label.

(Can) Pours clear amber with big white head. Lovely citrus aroma. Medium bodied with good full carbonation. Great taste with good citrus start, some nice toffee malt and plenty of hoppy bitterness. Excellent.

The flavour is over moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, malt, big juicy lemon citrus, herbal liqourice, light floral, big warm, slightly boozy, woody hop bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average carbonation.

From a 440ml can on 19/9/2020. Pours a clear deep golden with a medium head. The aroma is dank, grassy, herbal and hoppy. Starts with sweet biscuit malt and citrus and tropical fruit. Finishes with a big tangy citrus hop bitterness, with lemon dominating proceedings. The mouthfeel is stick and syrupy, the carbonation softish. A bold, intense and enjoyable hop bomb with nice sweet bitter balance.

Tall can from Countdown outside Christchurch airport, drank in Tekapo. Had alongside another Liberty DIPA, Hoptical Illusion. Aroma is very dank, with tropical pineapple and banana. Taste is huge bitter bite at the front, lemon peel, citrus juice, and sweet tropical fruit. Palate is a little rich, but with enough carbonation. Finish is boozy and lemon bitter. Very straightforward but well done. Would get again.

Bottle shared. Bit hazy golden with big fluffy white head. Dank hops, grapefruit, lime, sweet sugary malts, quite some alcohol, light peach, chicory, yuzu, light scotch. Over medium sweet and bitter. Over medium bodied with alcoholic finish. Lovely hops, and quite tasty overall, but too much alcohol.

Bottle muled from NZ by my wife! Pours clear orange, medium off-white head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is stinky, oranges, dankness, herbal. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Likely past its prime, but no bottling date and it was consumed 16 hours after purchase. Medium body, soft mouthfeel.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Colin. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma has rindy citrus, pine needles. Light sweet flavour with crusty pale malts, more piney hops, citrus rind, ripening oranges. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous in the finish, more piney hops, rind, orange, tangerine. Not bad.
