Brewery draught, 1/18/24. Moderately hazy, bright, lemon-pineapple. Small, white head quickly to cover. Juicy lemon, orange and various playful tropical fruits in the nose with a hint of onion, perhaps. Balancing, soft base malts give a honey suggestion. Clean, no alcohol. Spicy, somewhat sharply bitter for a hot second. Maybe some lemon rind/oil with a soft, biscuit and honey like maltiness. Clean, no booze. Not your typical Motueka, but the spice is interesting and grows on you. Good texture.

Brewery draught, 1/18/24. Dark, clear, near black but with garnet-auburn highlights. Small, tan head quickly to ring. Chocolate, peanut, some heavy cracker. A bit overly roasty, it seems. Not tons of base malt expression. Soft, chocolatey, lightly sweet and malty with a watery finish. Some old coffee bean-like character. Pleasant, and not as over-roasted as the aroma suggested, but just missing a crisp texture and lager-like finish.

Worthy Burger S. Royalton draught, 10/6/23. Clear, bright golden. Firm, white head atop. Very lovely Nelson expression is juicy and tropical with good mineral and light sulfur. Hints of white wine, clean and with light honey and cracker below it. Soft but with some graininess. Honey and white bread flavors from malt balance white wine, gentle lime, melon/papaya and guava from Nelson. Light sulfur in there as well. Clean, flavorful, good bitterness.

Bottle split at the last minute CBJ Tasting (big thanks Marcin for hosting), thanks to LKS for this one, 13/07/23. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap that clears to edgework. Nose is tangy citric shreds, hedgerow, lemon nip, modest yeast load, damp oak, straw. Taste comprises funk, lemon rind, herb, light acidic bimble, modest barrel but not really picking out port, damp oak, hay bale. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a tangy edge. Decent stuff.

Bottle shared in London - sourced from the brewery. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Lightly sweet, quite dry, has a little lemony note, low acidity. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Drying finish, more subtle lemony notes, an odd oily note, a little pale wood. Not bad.

Not the L6 bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. A light haze on this pale gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts, sweet enough. Slightly tart elderflower vibe. Soft red fruits on the back end. A mild acetic burn on the very end. Decent.
