Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes malt, caramel, hops, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

(Bottle) Pours clear golden with white head. Pleasant aroma of citrus, pine, hints of grain / bread. Light body, fizzy. Pleasantly fruity and tart, with a rather rough bitterness. Good, not great.

330ml bottle. Pours orange gold. Floral, ginger, honey. Crisp, clean beer with a nice level of ginger in it. One I've got a bit of a soft spot for, especially when the weather warms up.

330ml bottle into shaker glass. Pale amber beer with medium carbonation and a thin white head which laces nicely. Distant nose of hops, really distant. Full body, smooth texture. It's zingy and fresh with light touches of malt, pepper and fruit. Very lightweight but super easy-drinking.

330ml bottle into shaker. Crystal clear golden amber beer with medium carbonation and dissipating white head. Very slight nose of grain and hops. Grainy taste, bitter finish. Easy-drinking lager with a bit more a hop kick than usual.

Bottle 330ml (BB 10.02.2018). Delicate hazy yellow-orange colour. Small and short, white head. Aroma is poor with delicate, fruits note and a liitle bit malt behind. There is small to medium, herbal bitterness, quite nice overall. Beer is light, even a little bit watery, sweet-malty and excluding the bitterness, no more happens. Good to drink in hot day but definitely nothing special, rather poor NZPA and I'm disappointed with my first drunk New Zealand beer. I hope it will be better next time.

Bottle from an Albert Heijn in Ghent. Pours clear golden/orange with a small, frothy, off-white head. The aroma contains (bitter) hops, spices, orange, citrus, yeast and herbs. It tastes light fruity sweet and medium spicy bitter, with a hoppy, herbal finish. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation (giving it a rather watery feel). Not too complex in aroma; predictable in taste. Just okay.
