Bottle. Clear gold with a large fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruit salad, light biscuity malt, a lick of pine. Tastes sweet and fruity with stone and tropical fruits, supporting biscuity malt, then decent finishing bitterness. Alcohol seems far too prominent for the clean glugging refreshment it offers.

Thanks Tkrjukoff for this bottle. Clear orange color, white lacing head. Really strong hoppy smell. Taste very hoppy, very bitter, slightly fruity. Ok carbo and body, though it could have been a little higher.

From a 500ml bottle on 10/7/2011. Pours a clear golden honey colour with a smallish fine head. Has a wonderful, powerful floral, fruit and pine hop aroma. Similarly bursts with flavour, with a big caramel/toffee malt backbone, honey, sweet citrus fruits (particularly mandarin) and heaps of grapefruit. A real hop monster and an exceptional, complex IPA. Damn those kiwis are brewing some good gear.

Pours amber with a large, lasting head.Nose show fruity, NZ hops with peach, grapefruit and gooseberry notes.Underneath is bready, cookie dough-like malt in large quantities - nice!Very similar flavours, once again theres a fair bit of expressive malt. Finishes with a bold, sharp bitterness.Nice med-light body, carbonation could be a bit higher.
