Pale with slight haze. Ok hop but that weird onion note...for a beer not made with the most oniony hops. Maybe Strata and Riwaka don't go together. Moderate bitterness. There's nothing that's actually objectionable, but it really doesn't come together well on the palate for me.

On tap at Beere, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma has gentle coffee, some earthiness, and toasted malt. Flavour has a strange green peppery coffee expresion, with a dry earthy finish. That coffee doesn’t come out well at all, and the base beer is thin. Quite flawed.

On tap at Beere, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has some herbal hops, but no trace of the NZ hops. Flavour is better, with tangy citrusy hops, some oily dankness, and crisp biscuity malt. Tangy, lightly bitter finish. Pleasant stuff.

On tap at Beere, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has piney hops, a hint of tart citrus, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has plenty of tart citrusy hops, floral notes, and bitter like cones. Real nice hop expresion, I think from the Talus. Solid.

On tap at Beere, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is mineraly, with gentle dry-hopping and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has some unfermented wort, with light bitterness and crisp biscuity malt. Can’t shake the unfermented wort. Meh.

4oz pour at the brewery. Pours clear blonde with a small white head. Bright pine and bitter herbal notes on the nose. Flavour has woody pine and a strong, astringent herbal character. This isn't really working for me, but it does seem well-made.

4oz pour at the brewery. Pours murky brown with a beige head. Coffee, green pepper, and toasted malts on the nose. Flavour has thin coffee, green pepper, and stale toasted malts. Weak body. Very disappointing.

Hazy, pale, bubbly head. This has a fairly dank aroma, with bright kiwi notes…the 1019 and motueka are dominant and I don’t even smell the citra. Thank Christ. Sweet, as is the Beere style, with moderate but vague hop expression. So the brightness of the aroma is diminished a fair bit on the palate. Lowish bitterness. A touch of stone fruit.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Fruity aroma of pale malt, orange peel, peach and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of pale malt, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, pine resin and grassy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Not what I'd call a west coast, but more of an east coast meets west coast blend.
