Can. Dark brown with a beige head. Spiced mocha aroma with some hazelnut. Lowish carbonation, pretty light bodied. Thinnish chocolate and nuts, bitterness sticks out a bit much at the end rather than emerging. Wanted a little more grunt from the malt side of things.

Can, 10C. Just hazy amber with an inch of white head that lasts OK and laces well. Aroma of gooseberry, grass, mango, light caramel. Light bodied, perfect lowish carbonation. A little bready sweetness, not much caramel at all, lots of Kiwi grassy/ tropical/ citrus hops. Dryish finish with firm bitterness which makes it comfortably avoids the fruit salad -like sweetness of some NZ pale ales. A cheerful, refreshing brew that’s right up my street.
