On tap at brewery. Pours clear yellow with white head. Aroma is dank and piney with some sweet malts. Flavour is very pine-forward with dry woody character. Messy and uncoordinated, not getting any NZ hops.

On tap at Grand Fir, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has some car exhaust fumes, bitter grapefruit rind, and some pine — doesn't smell like a NZ-hopped beer. Flavour is rough and earthy, with some car exhaust, bitter grapefruit rind, and generally a muffled hoppiness. Not a good hop expression at all; that classic NZ expression is absent. Poor.
