Can shared at Greymouth Kiwi holiday park kitchen, from a plastic wineglass. Hazy light yellow with white head. Sweet fresh peaches indeed, lots of apricot, light malts, dough, soft creamy, light herbal, a touch of lactic notes and tannic fruit skins. Over light sour and sweet, light bitter. Medium bodied. Very enjoyable.

From a 440ml can on 29/7/2018. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a big fluffy white head. the nose is pleasant and very fruit forward with lots of tropical and citrus notes. This tastes absolutely sublime - a perfect balance of fruity sweetness (pineapple, passionfruit, mango, apricot, orange) and firmish hops, with a perfect amount of light grapefruit. Full bodied with a slightly slick texture, and moderate carbonation. A truly magnificent beer, and the best IPA I've had in a very long time.

From a 500ml can on 22/7/2018 (Can says Chur Brewing - Behemoth does not feature prominently in the packaging). Pours a very deep brown with a small head. Has a really strong and quite lovely coffee aroma. The flavour again is primarily strong coffee, milk chocolate, a good dash of roasted malt and some vanilla and lactose. The texture is slightly creamy and the carbonation moderate. Just lovely.

440ml can. Pours red brown. Pine, cherry, bit dank, biscuit, bitter, bit of grapefruit, quite floral at the end. Medium body. Would not have guessed this was NZ hopped. Fine.
