Pours a hazy, light grapefruit-juice yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is a touch on the dank side, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, including the dank, upfront note. Mouthfeel seems a touch thin. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

Canned 6/18/25, drunk 7/9/25.
Turbid, concrete-to pale-bronze. Medium-sized, creamy, white head.
Ho baby...that is NIIIICE. Just like the previous Yodel, this is top tier stuff, nearing perfection. Juicy, spicy, clean and bright with no punch, chalk, resin, alcohol, excess sugar. Honey-like malts balance gently and easily. This is all the NZ hop spice you want and none of the more herbal spice that you don't. Stone fruit, white wine, mineral and earth.
Round, malty, juicy and with plentiful stone fruit, white wine, mineral and zesty lime spice. Spice isn't quite as compelling in the flavor as the nose makes it out to be, but this is still every bit as polished and well-executed with no excess sugar, resin, alcohol, etc...Deep, pillowy texture with excellent attenuation and balance. What a phenomenal series. May even have to trade for the new Peacharine version.
