500mL bottle, pours a crystal clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is very floral, with lots of yuzu, some wild yeast, and a touch of white wine. Flavour is very floral, with plenty of perfumey notes, some wild yeast, and lightly acidic, floral yuzu on the finish. Not particularly complex but it�s clean and easy-drinking. Decent.

Grapefruit, gooseberry nose…big happy Riwaka. Medium bitterness, light malt, again some really nice, vibrant riwaka salmonberry, white grapefruit type notes. Malt is a bit light but they’re sweet spot is definitely the lighter beers.

Dark blond with a slight haze. Thin head. Vinous nose. A bit slick…the fermentation is okay, a shade acetic and probably going in a wrong direction but they’ve cut it off in time. Still, not my optimal character for this type of beer.

Hazy, medium blonde. Thin head. Tart, has some hop, some citrus. It’s decently balanced, though more fruit sour than sour IPA.

Hazy and dark blonde, without much head. Somewhat sticky and lowish bitterness… this doesn’t really land for me. Needs way more hop.

Opaque, thick head. Floral hop nose, mild bitterness, some citrusy notes in there. The malt is fairly big, somewhat sweet but on the hazy pale at least it’s balanced. Some grapey sort of accents.

[Vintage 2021] 500mL bottle. Pours cloudy pale gold with white head. Aroma has dry wood, acidity, leather, peach pits. Flavour has sour peach, dry wood, acetic acid, some bugs. Finishes a bit too harshly on the acidity, but still pretty good.

500ml (thx, Matt and Renny) @ Sales Force. Appearance: a bit hazy goldem with a white head. Aroma: some funk, stone fruits, tartness. Taste: VEEERY tart, but with lots of stone fruits. Overall: way too tart.

500mL bottle, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of barnyard funk, juicy peaches, some bugginess, and a touch of oak. Flavour has acidic, juicy peaches upfront, plenty of citrus, and a touch of bugs. Not particularly complex or refined, but the integration is fine. Decent.
