Mango and papaya. On the sweet side of things. Pours hazy yellow without much head. Pretty sweet finish with a hint of tang. Can.

Pours a hazy, gold-banana, with big head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with some resin. Very resinous flavor as well, along with citrus and tropical fruits. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

Pours a lightly hazy, pale lemon-tea color, with smallish head (doesn't look all that great, actually). Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, a bit dusty overall. Flavors follow, more pronounced, and somehow, more delicious (this stuff tastes really good). Mouthfeel seems a touch thin. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish. I liked it.

16oz can pours a pulpy orange yellow with some clumpy white head. Nose is very sweet, canned peaches, melon sherbet, light citrus, oats and chai. Flavor is mostly canned peach and oats, yellow cake, pineapple schnapps. Overdone. Full bodied. Sweet.

Pint at the brewery pours a translucent burnt orange with a lovely lacey white head. Nose has malt and honey, pine and orange, grapefruit, soap. Flavor has a pretty big honey note and grain bill. Big citrus and pine, soap sort of fades. Doesn't scream old school, it's a bit too sweet. Good though.

8oz pour at the brewery is a nearly opaque black with a ring of beige head. Nose has burnt malts, toast, black licorice and some coffee grounds. Flavor has malt and burnt toast, smokey even, coffee and some dark cocoa powder. Medium full bodied with a bitterness from the roast. Drinks a little bigger than it is.

Canned 9/2/25, drunk 10/1/25.
Clear auburn with copper tints. Big, butter-beige head fades slowly to cover.
Classic caramel and toffee flanked by herbaceous hops. Earth, light toast and mineral round out the clean, fairly crisp finish. Not sweet or over-toasted and not over-hopped. Lots of honey-like character from base malt.
Spicy hops with a bit more toast in the flavor than the nose lets on. But it keeps it quite dry and there's rich malt depth with big toffee flavors. Blackberries, plums, maple candies...but nicely balancing bitterness from hop and melanoidin-like malt qualities. Clean and crisp on the finish. Maybe just a smidge too much toast overall.

16 oz can. Aroma is oranges, papaya, house yeast. Flavor follows with the addition of pineapple notes. Mouth feel is soft with a pillow-like texture. Plenty of juice. This is an old can (5 months old) and it still taste great! No sugary sweetness is found.

Canned 8/12/25, drunk 9/1/25.
Heavily hazy bronze. Big, well-retained, white head.
Fruity and lightly juicy with lots of white grape and mineral/earth. Light spruce/pine/resin. Cracker and biscuit from the sparse malt.
Very flavorful with mango, orange juice, white wine and minimal contribution from the Motueka. Zesty with big mineral, light sulfur, light grape and a dry, biscuity, crackery, earthy finish. Pretty impressive amount of flavor for 6%.
