Definitely an Indian Pale Lager then…

Tap at Billies. Clear golden. Dill, cucumber, sour grains. Medium sour, light bitter. Some popcorn kettle sour notes. Meh. To be fair, this is by far the best pickle beer I've ever had, but that really doesn't say much because it's still pickle beer. It's sort of drinkeable though, and the dill comes out nice.

Tap at Billies. Deep hazy light yellow. Super juicy hops, peach, grapes, oats, soft floral and lime. Over medium sweet, light bitter. Solid medium body. Tasty.

On tap at Billie's Craft Beer Festival. A hoppy pilsner, dry and piney in the direction of a pale ale, but with typical pilsner character and crisp malts. Quite refreshing, but not very exciting. Prefer a well-brewed German style pilsner any day. 647413 251107

On tap at Billie's Craft Beer Festival. 2024 vintage. Fruity-sour, dry and refreshing. Light funk and oak. A nice beer, but a bit dull I think. 646413 251107

[33cl can on the Interislander Ferry, NZ] A straw coloured pour with a lasting white head; grainy aroma; sickly sweet with some lemon and maize; and a very watery finish.

Nose shows floral hops, peach, tangerine, soft clean malt.
Flavours include cookie dough-like malt, floral and spicy hops, a bit of peach and tangerine. Very low bitterness.

Can. Gold, a snowy cm + head. Clean. Floral with light bread, white pepper. Moderately sweet, punchy spicy bitterness. Refreshing. Nothing new but good.
