Undated, though batch-labeled, can (batch 06), drunk 3/6/26.
Beautiful mix of mineral-rich yeast and water with crisp, bright, aromatic, clean hops throughout. Fresh herbs, fresh black pepper and a bit of fresh baguette-like malt behind it.
Malty and rich with a very substantial texture but low sweetness. Quite bitter with an incredible amount of hopping. Tons of fresh herb and pepper lingering. Maybe a bit less bitterness or a bit more malt sweetness would work wonders here. As is, it's very well-done, but extremely dry and very bitter.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-bright orange haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which settled down nicely to leave some spotty lace
Aroma: piney, nectarine, white grapes & pine hop notes, light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality; finishes piney and slightly necatarine-like
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; some smoothness; low hop bitterness
Overall: pretty nice NEDIPA I'd be willing to come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: thick orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which fell off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy and grassy hop notes, clean bready malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality; finishes citrusy
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness, nice low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA I'd have again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy, piney, sweet grassy & light tangerine-like hops; light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a good bittersweet juicy quality; finishes grassy sweet to piney hop quality
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness, low hop bitterness, low to medium carb
Overall: maybe get that carb down to the low side of the low, and this could be a real gem.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark amber to copper color with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grassy hops, some herbal to floral hops, biscuity tones, bready tones, earthiness and a little bit of caramel/toffee character
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together for a mild malty semi-bitter quality; finishes floral to herbal hoppy with the bitter malty tones
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium, sessionable, some smoothness and some dryness as well
Overall: I believe it works as an ESB as it seems kinda cleaned up from the older ones of it's style with the "soapier"-ish tones. Pass the fish n' chips please for this one!

Draught @ the brewery. Extremely hazy dull yellow with a foamy whitish head that flops fast, citrus aroma with a hint of mint, low carbonation, mildly bitter citrus peel-unripe mango taste, faint mint flavor, smooth body, long finish. Flavorful.

Undated can drunk 1/17/26, as pictured.
Earth and mineral form a base for white peach, lychee, pear and mild tropical fruit skin. Oddly similar to All Puggle Everything, though with less floral/lychee character. Malts show up but don't dominate, adding rich honey and light biscuit/cracker on the end. No alcohol, flaw, resin noted.
At first I get some borderline overdone/astringent bitterness, following the rich, soft, but pretty well-attenuated malt. Some white grape/white wine, some resin, maybe a flash of alcohol. Something is thinning out the body here, but Marlowe's inherent maltiness keeps it pretty well-balanced. Whatever that big, peppery, alcoholic-like bitterness is, it's very unwanted and detracts from the whole picture.

Undated can drunk 1/15/26, as pictured.
Very zesty hop with big lemon/orange rind character. Some black pepper in the background with lingering floral tangerine/orange oil. Malts seem more sparse than in GS-Motueka, though I assume it's the same malt base and just "lightened" by the zesty, drier acidity in this one. Anyways, clean and bright and a nice change-of-pace from the usual intense juicy fruit NEIPA.
Juicy fresh squeezed orange is fantastically authentic. This tastes like the real thing, with floral notes, rind, oil, etc...And no big sweetness or sluggish textures here. Quite a bit more dry and spicy than the Motueka version. Really cool hop, albeit rather narrowly focused on fresh citrus.
