Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and dry and has good fine carbonation. Airy dry malts, just a touch of sweetness. Hops bring dry floral bitterness and some citric pith. Touch of that Rakau earthiness, but not pronounced. Light dry finish. Mild bitter linger. A bit dry and bitter and after the very nice Waimea Pale Ale, a disappointment.

Keg at BrewDog Clapham Junction during the Roaring Four launch - London. Pours clear orange with a white cream head. Berry accents in the aroma, some tangerine. Light sweet flavour with pleasant peppery notes, rindy tangerine, pale bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with continuing notes of pepper, citrus fruits, mellow piney bitterness. A nice beer overall.
