Draught at the brewery, 6/25/21.
Good clarity and a maize tint to the otherwise pale, straw-golden. White head atop is medium-sized, showing fair retention.
Earthy, light yellow fruit-accented motueka is moderate in the nose, allowing softer esters and other various fruit notes to build complexity. Malts are certainly present though seemingly well-attenuated (relative to its size). Still a fair bit of honey, biscuit and white bread-like character, but it's balanced well by hop acidity (which is pretty gentle) and spicy phenolics. No alcohol or flaw.
Medium-to-full bodied for the style with a healthy malt backbone without being too sweet. Earth, herbs and moderate yellow fruit notes are abundance with honey and angel food cake from the malt. Hops are well-integrated in to the finish with plentiful, strong ester/phenol character and light citrus, as well. Really nice modern take. Neither hop nor yeast are dominant and you get to see the interplay of both nicely.
