Can. Gold with a good inch of white head that lasts OK. Aroma of tropical fruit, grass, crackers.The fruit is there but it's still bossed by snappy peppery and floral notes - very much why NZ pils is a thing (& why I'm yet to be convinced that Cali pils is).

Can. Hazy pale orange with 3/2 cm white head that lasts OK. Meek lime and cracker aroma. More citrus arrives in the taste, which has a fairly dry, pithy quality before well-defined bitterness. Let down by the aroma.

Bottle. Deep brown, a cm+ of off white head. Spicy strong fruit bread aroma with singed caramel. Not all that sweet and just medium bodied with dried fruit, light dough, lots of yeasty spices, moderate bitterness. Some red wine and bracken too. Excellent.

Can. Gold, fluffy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, crackers, pine, light tropical notes. So it tastes. The fruity hops are nice but partially obscure the transparent lager palate - but not so much as other "Cali Pils"s I have tried. Pretty good, if a bit strong for what it offers.

Pours pale yellow with a small head.
Nose shows dill, lemon, chilli and cucumber.
Flavours include more dill, pickle, a reasonable acidity and a bit of a chilli kick.

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Clear yellow golden color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are a little sourish, a bit odd. Hmm okay.

(Can) Pours cloudy amber with big off white head. Lovely fruity aroma. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Great fruity taste too. Plenty of caramel malt and a nice hoppy bitter finish. Very good.
