500ml bottle. Pours hazy deep orange. Grapefruit, toffee, orange peel, pine, floral, fair bitterness. Soft body. Pretty tasty, not quite a typical NEIPA.

GABS Auckland 2018. Pours black. Chocolate, almond, amaretto, plenty more chocolate, no hint of booze which is a bit mad. Good body. Nice.

On tap at Brew Rotorua. Pours gold. Lime, orange, lemon, a little bread. A nice citrusy ale. Not sure the wheat is super prominent, but I’m not too bothered given how tasty it is.

330ml bottle. Pours reasonably opaque black. Aroma is coffee, something herbal, milk chocolate and salty liquorice. Flavour is coffee up front, little herbal liquorice stuff and then a nice bitter chocolate finish. Little thin, but pretty tasty.

330ml bottle. Pours translucent black. Aroma is pine, grass and coffee. Taste is similar coffee notes over a huge spicy hop profile. Little buttery, which isn’t ideal. Mostly fine.

330ml bottle. Pours quite dark, fine. Aroma is bubblegum and caramel. Flavour has a bunch more caramel, but pear and sherbet notes dominate. Nice.

330ml bottle. Aroma is caramel and peach and a touch of pine. Taste is more full on, with spiced peach, caramel and biscuit up front leading into a bitter pine finish. It’s an odd combination, but really nice.

330ml bottle. Aroma is peach, a little white chocolate sickliness and a bunch more peach. Flavour has got lots of juicy peach, and juicy is the best way to describe the mouthfeel too. There’s some subdued sweetness to finish. Really refreshing. Could easily sink a few of these on a hot day.
