For May we combined 2 selected lots of Nelson with our selected citra and then modified our whirlpool a touch. We taste a medley of gooseberry, tropical fruit and citrus.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Smooth palate, a little soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft creamy sweet malts, taste a little ripe but no milky or caramel flavours creeping in. Mild pine into rich ripe citrus and stone fruits, ripe grape and a little lime. Light and semi dry finish. Quite flavoursome and certainly not unpleasant but, perhaps a bit stodgy and ripe in both the malt and hop aspects of this brew.
