16 oz can, pours a lightly hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Nose has gentle gooseberry, lychee, and soft citrusy hops. Flavour reveals a wonderful expression of the NZ hops, with plenty of gooseberry, white wine tang, citrusy hops, and a touch of pine, backed with a thin biscuity malt base. Crisp, hoppy, and well-balanced. Excellent.

16oz can from Tavour. Mildly hazy yellow pour, thin skin of fine white head. Aroma is grapefruit peel, lemon, floral, pear. Taste is fruity, mild sweetness, touch of grapefruit zest with some trailing juicy notes. Light lingering buzz on the tongue.

Can from Tavour. Pours pale translucent gold with a decent white head. Aroma does seem lychee. Med body. Flavor is lychee, citrus, maybe earth. Dry and tingly, tho moderately, bitter. Excellent.
