On tap at Spinnakers. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Nose is tropical and grapey. Flavour has tropical notes and definitely some fruity NZ hop character. Minimal bitterness. Not really an IPA, but it's not a bad beer.

On tap at Spinnakers. Pours pale blonde with a white head. Very faint floral hops on the nose. Tastes like light fruit juice, some grape character, but generally pretty one-dimensional and kid-friendly. It's fine, but what's the point?

On tap at Bomber. Pours a clear deep gold with a white head. Faint citrus and yuzu on the nose. Flavour has faint pine, citrus, and a bready malt base. It's okay, could benefit from more hops.

On tap at Bomber, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has English bready malt, diacetyl, and a touch of toffee. Flavour definitely has that diacetyl that you sometimes find in English cask bitters—somehow it’s not a total dealbreaker—with English bready malt, some hoppy bitterness, and dry toasted notes. Not bad.
