Draught at the brewery, 5/26/18.
Heavily hazy-to-soupy and brassy-copper-golden. Little/no head, no retention.
Nose is light mineral and sprucey pine-lemon with cracker behind it all. Not much, if any, kiwi and certainly no big hop aromatics nor much in the way of juiciness. Otherwise, clean, no alcohol, resin, flaw.
In the mouth there is some light kiwi juice, when looked for. Mostly it's a lot of pine with a soft, chewy texture that shows little/no sweetness. Quite dry and very highly attenuated, perhaps too much so. Moderately bitter, growing astringent via resin on the finish. Much more West Coast than New England, despite appearances. Just very little in the way of interesting hop here. Very little flavor in general, to be honest.

Can shared in Hackney - picked up in Boston. Pours cloudy orange-gold with a small, creamy white head. Nice aroma, peach and tangerine, melon, light pine. Light sweet flavour, mild rindy bitterness, melon, grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Well balanced finish, more melon, pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine. Great stuff. Solid.

Bodney towers bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Hazy orange -gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine minerrally carbonation. Thin mallts, mild creamy sweetness. Mild spice. Light kiwi, if you know it's there. Tangy citrus lightened by losdsa pine and nibbly hop spice. Dry crisp finish. Mild bitter linger. Nice.

Can from Jeff, thanks again Hazy deep yellow small short lasting white head. Earthy fruity citrus with a bit of alcohol presence. Pretty tasty beer.
