Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 2 months past BBE. Hazy orange gold with solid white head; looks the part. Very resinous and toasty malt aroma with underlying mango and passionfruit. Interesting. Taste really highlights mango/tropical like juiciness with pine resin, herbal bitter and zesty finish. Has a freshness not expected for the age of this. Medium bodied, pillowy, soft fine carbonation. Excellent. I've been enjoying a few NZ beers over the last year or so. Some great beer in this country currently. New brewery for me so will keep an eye out for more.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 6 months past BBE. Semi-hazy orange colour with a rather thin white top. A resinous earthy aroma, some soft fruits and malt. Taste of mixed tropical, herbs, spice and again that resinous hop oil which is quite chemical in character. Medium bodied and over carbonated. It grew on me a bit but I'm not a big fan. One of those marmite beers.

Flaske fra Beerdome. Sort med et beige/brunt skum. Aromaen er meget kaffe præget, fad og en smule chokolade. Den er sød og lidt tør finnish.
