Bottle shared in our van. Clear dark golden with off white head. Light caramel, grapefruit, lychee, lime, sof dank hops with a touch of sweat. Just medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied. Nothing I’d pick out of a lineup, but very enjoyable.

Bottle from Pack’nSave, drank at Trounson Kauri Park Campground. Bit hazy golden with white head. Lots of spicy yeast, sweet bready malts, apricot, light peach and apple, soft cloves, grassy and herbal hops. Just medium sweet, full medium bitter and soft tart. Medium bodied. The yeast and apricot don’t work that well together, but otherwise not a bad beer.

Bottle from supermarket drank in our campervan in Whangarei. Clear golden with short lasting white head. Sour lemon and lime, grainy, light lactic, a soft hint of puke, dishwashing liquid, quite malty. Under medium sweet and sour and light bitter. Almost medium bodied. A bit too much stale malts, but weird overall.
