Panda thanks to Cloin. A medium haze on this slightly dark orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, bordering thin for the style but pretty sweet, flirting with too sweet. Hop spice nibbles from the get go. Cooling pine calms things down, a mellow - ripe Motueka key lime ensues. As always these days, desperately searching for signs of Nelson,a mild winey grape is pretty decent by 2024 standards. Light finish. Nice dipa, could have dialled back the malt sweetness a notch and either use a shit load more Motueka or add another hop methinks from a purely selfish perspective.

440ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma of candied citrus, lime, guava, passionfruit. Taste is the same, candied tropical fruit, guava, passionfruit and zesty lime, although not overly sweet there is a very noticeable sugary/candy vibe to this beer, and low bitterness too. Medium bodied.
