Brewery draught, 1/27/24. Lightly hazy, deep, honey-maize. Small, white head quickly to ring. Juicy and tropical nose with obvious Semillon from the nelson. Rich, honey-like malt, no resin, no onion from mosaic. Really soft, fruity and round. Clean yeast, no booze. Soft, malty, juicy, tropical. Not the rich, dank, mineral spice of new Zealand, but still round and flavorful hops with plenty of white wine and minor spice from the clean mosaic. Very malty but well-attenuated.
