Bottle at home. A darker than expected colour in the glass that was followed by a rich taste of hops and a level of malt to balance the flavour. Not one to stick in the mind, but very pleasant.

Trockener, sehr getreidiger Antrunk. Geringe Süße, moderat hopfig, trocken bleibend. Die intensive Getreidigkeit stört etwas. Okay. 10/9/8/9//8

An attractive 33cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. A bright amber pour with a tight white head; aroma of fresh grapes and gooseberry; light and fragrant in the mouth with a light fizz and then a gooseberry bitterness; levaing a clean crisp finish. An excellentr single hop beer that really shows off the Nelson Sauvin hops.

Copper coloured body with a great, five to six centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of amazingly rich white grapes, floral, grassy and especially tropical fruity hops with passionfruit, lychee and guava notes around. Medium-bodied; Assertive hops up front with a nice flavour and interestingly enough, not much bitterness. Great mild malts that show some body but not overwhelming - the hops speak for themselves here, as they should. Aftertaste is mild with a lot of hops and tropical fruit notes, but not much alcohol and hardly any malt make this very nice and hop-centric. Overall, a great beer to try and nice to sample this hop varietal without traveling to New Zealand nor bringing this heavy bottle back home! I sampled this 33 cL studded bottle purchased from Jason’s Market Place in Taipei 101, Taipei, Taiwan on 24-July-2017 for NT$135 sampled a few hours later here in my hotel in Central Taipei, Taiwan on 24-July-2017.
