On tap at Brothers Beer. Orange, caramel, pine resin, biscuits. Nice full body. Much nicer malt base than you expect from a session IPA, with a good bitter hopping over the top. Very nice.

330ml can. Pale, quite explosive as I opened the can. Pine, fudge, grapefruit, lemon. Really quite tasty, and very definitely a beverage, so I guess I can’t complain.

A ruby brown with a fudge brownie and coconut aroma. The taste is well balanced coconuts and nutty bready cookie dough. Great stuff. —-2022 can—— score down 3.9—> 3.7 Behemoth Brave Bikkie 6% Brown Ale brewed with cocoa nibs & coconut Apparently, Bikkie is some kind of cookie? Ruddy brown color with virtually no foam but a HUGELY sweet aroma of vanilla, feels like some serious sweeteners were added to this much sweeter than just cocoa and coconut would give. Medium to full bodied with a raspy carbonation. Sweet chocolate cocoa and vanilla syrup flavor. To me this is much too sweet so pair it with vanilla ice cream or Oreos or something to balance it out a bit.

On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Aroma is nice. Plenty of peach, bitterness and citrus. Taste has the citrus from the Amarillo, the tropical fruit from the Motueka and just too much biscuit malt stuff. This is supposed to be about showcasing the hops but that’s drowned out by the malt profile. Not great.
