Bottle from Liquorland Rotorua. Almost clear golden with very fluffy almost white head. Red apple, light sweet malts, orange, dank weeds, quite some tropical fruits, light caramel, soft onion, light alcohol. Over medium sweet, almost medium bitter. Medium bodied. Quite fruity, but a bit too much alcohol maybe. Weird marketing too. Decent overall.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, spices, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes souces, hops, herbs, malt, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

From a 500ml bottle on 3/4/2016 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clear golden with a medium head. Has a pleasant fruity, hoppy nose. The flavour features bready malt, some sweet citrus (mandarine, tangerine), and some relativey firm hops. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A pretty solid IPA. As I’ve just had a bottle, clearly not draught only any longer.

22 oz bottle poured. Much thanks Dad for thinking of me when you were down in New Zealand. Pours a clear golden color with a thin oily head. Sweet fruit and hop forward aroma. Thicker body with grassy hops, slight fruit, and mild grain finish. Nice hop character throughout. Overall, good IPA.

330 ml bottle. Pours a clear copper with light-ish head. Aromas of toffee, pine, and candied fruit. Flavors of pine, bitter orange, and toasted malts. Somewhat thin, bitter finish. Pretty much a standard IPA these days. Didn’t get much of the unique hops. 7

330mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of hop oils, including piney and floral hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops and dry crackery malt - a bit of mineraly notes. Solid, unspectacular IPA.

Bottle - Orange peel and caramel malts. Clear gold with a decent white head. Lots of peel and a nice bitterness. Decent.

Beautiful golden color, bright, small head. Pungent fruity hop aroma. Dry mouthfeel, the malt flavor is a bit papery, the hops are not very fruity, but they are fairly resiny, pungent.
Very good.
