16oz can from Function NW. Murky, hazy golden pour, small frothy white head settles to filmy layer. Aroma is overripe tropical fruit, melon, mango, guava. ABV crops up right at first taste, before settling into the thick tropical fruit flavors. Juicy and strong.

Panda thanks to Wingman. A Mosaic and Citra brew from AT? Getaway! Oh, this one has Motueka as well? A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Airy and fairly dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. It's that typical AT Citra Mosaic dipa/ tipa affair, smooth malts, a decent creamy sweetness, very slight natural grain. Ripe citrus and abundant candy fruits, some candy blueberry. Motueka? Trace of key lime on the back end. Light and semi dry finish. Nothing wrong with this brew at all, a fine and drinkable affair. It's just that it's just another minor variation on the same theme and, therefore to me, boringly predictable.

5 - 7 December 2025. Holiday retreat at Houffalize. Cheers!
Can from Stacks. Hazy ochre, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of ripe peach, pineapple, papaya, sherbet, lime, orange peel, dough. Taste has sweet pineapple & papaya in a doughy, sherbetty malt body; some bitter citrus pith. Floral hops in the finish, juicy stone fruit, citrus rind and warming gin-like alcohol. Medium to full body, fluffy texture, average carbonation. Quite sweet even to AT's standards.
