On tap at Threefold, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has gentle woody pine and crisp biscuity malt in good, restrained cohesion. Flavour is crisp and clean, with quite a vibrant woody, piney hop expression, with a dry biscuity malt base. Vibrant, piney, potent hop expression for a 5% pale, with excellent balance. Great stuff.

On tap at Threefold, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Nose is all terpenes, with mega-dankness—very pot-like—not much hops, though hard to distinguish. Flavour is unpleasant, with palate-clobbering terpenes dominating in a pretty distasteful way. Not good.

On tap at Threefold, pours a cloud yellow with a small white head. Nose has moderate hopburn, dankness, and some allium. Flavour is super juicy, with lots of tropical stone fruits, moderate dankness, and a touch of allium. Juicy, somewhat sweet, nicely dank, little hopburn. Pretty good for a hazy.

Bright, bubbly head. Biscuity malt, a somewhat toasty hop and some hing in there. One day I will figure out where that comes from. Sweetish palate, yeah that is an unusual hop character on this.

May 11, 2026 (8/4/7/3/16=3.8): Poured from 473mL can (forgot it in the back of the fridge; pkg 2026.02.24). Clear gold with white head. Slightly dank, almost juicy, NZ hop tang, almost a slight creaminess about the malt which is odd for a pils, but fits together with the rest of the beer. Decent.

Mar 28, 2026 (8/4/6/3/15=3.6): Poured from the tap @ Superflux. Clear gold with small white head. Aroma has nice dank NZ hops. Taste is a bit subdued. Could be age, I have a can at home to compare.

473mL can, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma bursts with intense Riwaka—so much of that spicy piney hop tang—with more of the gooseberry from the Nelson in back, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is likewise vibrant, with big oily, piney, spicy hop tang, a touch of gooseberry, and crisp biscuity malt. Bright, with great clarity; wonderful expression of the NZ hops, especially the Riwaka.

473 ml can. Pours a deep reddish brown/mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of candi sugar, fruity belgian yeast, cherrywood, and dry toasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional raisins, esters and minerals. Pretty much on target though not too complex and lacking some body. Quite nice for a BC Belgian.
