330ml can at School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden blonde colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is light toffee caramel malt, light citrus. The flavour is moderate to light sweet and bitter, with a crisp, light piney, earthy, malt, sweet toffee, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Medium gold body and okay foam, plenty of sweet sharp hops on the nose but nothing else. Flavour is oily hops, overbearing and sweet, with no malt character. As is often the case if you are not obsessed with hops you may be doomed in New Zealand.

Tap at the brewpub. Almost clear golden with lasting thick almost totally white head. Mango, light peach, dry crisp malts with a light fresh baked bread note, dry grassy touch and green hops on the finish. Under medium sweet and medium bitter. Just medium bodied. Nice and fruity with more classic finish. Quite nice.
