Good malt, balanced hop has a bit of citrus, herbaceous hop. Pretty good, if we're being honest.

Pale, slight haze, nice bitterness. Weedy, not bad in that respect. Biscuity malts, dry, lean. Wouldn'�t mind more hop brightness but I do appreciate the bitterness.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with dank, pot-like hops, plenty of pine, tangy notes, and some oily resins. Flavour is wonderfully expressive on those tangy Nelson hops—lots of white wine and citrus skins—along with lime, some dankness, and light oily resins. Potent and yet balanced. An excellent WCDIPA with great NZ hop expression.

Opaque, pale, dank hop nose. On the palate low bitterness, medium alcohol and some slight pale malt sweetness. The hops are a touch green so not quite as good as on the aroma but still decent.

Dark blonde, just a touch of haze. Not much head. Big weedy hop nose. Malts smell mild but are bigger on the palate. Bready but getting gloppy. The dank hops are aggressive throughout. Lemonene terpy stuff. Not bad - the hop character is very good if the malts aren’t quite there.

Hazy and quite pale. Not much head. Fruity hop character, bright. Lean malts but just a kiss of sweetness to carry the hops across the palate nicely.

Quite pale, not much head. Slightly grainy nose. Mellow, soft sweet malt, maybe even corn! Just enough bitterness. Hits the style well.

473mL can, pours a hazy orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma is nicely dank, with intense pot-like hops, tropical fruits, and resins. Flavour is mega-dank, with lots of pot-like hops, tropical fruits, some resins, and moderate sweet malt to back. Massively dank, with a really nice tropical character and medium sweetness. Not much alcohol burn. Excellent.

Cloudy light yellow with a small white head. Dank and weedy with a grassy note. As it tastes and quite nice.

473mL can, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Nose is dank and weedy, with plenty of pot-like hops. Flavour is much the same, with a dank, weedy hop character upfront, a touch of bitter pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Almost no chalky/yeasty character that ruins so many hazies. Pleasant stuff.
