Just a light haze on this gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and delivers good fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts, sweet enough though. Crisp pine. Lovely 2024 Motueka brings bright lime, almost key lime and a trace of lemon. Mild but persistent hop spice. Touch of hop skunk. Crisp finish finds a satisfying hop savouryness. Light and bright and drinkable, the Motueka really carries this one.

Bottle. Beer Central Sheffield. Hazed pale gold. Good Kernel swede. Fairly mineraly. Bit chalky. Hops come across bright and floral. Bit of mouldy lemon. Whiff of pine. Taste has a light sweetness and is moderately bitter. Light and breezy throughout. Foamy carbonation. Light dry and bitter finish.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours lightly hazed yellow-gold with a creamy, white topping. Light sweet flavour with clean pale bread character, fresh biscuits, lemon rind, a little melon, grapefruit. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Clean finish, lovely bready pale malts, balanced rindy bitterness. Super.

Bottle from Kernel's webshoppe. It pours hazy lemon yellow with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, soft, grassy, pine, lemon and grapefruit. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, snappy, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, lemon, waxy rind, peppery spice, grass, pin, cracker and floral accents with a drying finish. Lightish body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Fresh, crispy and crushable.
