On tap at Cascade, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh Nelson Sauvin hops, with tangy hoppiness showcasing. Flavour brings out tangy citrus hops and white wine notes. Very fresh and flavourful. As fresh as you'll get a New Zealand pale ale over here. Very nice.
