On tap at Brother's Beer. Pours pink. Floral, raspberry, dry cranberry, little biscuit. Lively body. Fine.

330ml can. Pours orange. Orange, lemon, far too bitter and quite savoury. A miss for me.

On tap at Vultures Lane. Pours cloudy as shit and a strange yellow brown colour. Mango, peach, lemon zest. Huge full body. Just a big juicy tasty IPA.

On tap at Vultures Lane. Aroma is nutty with a little fruit. Flavour is a messy mix of walnuts, orange and pine. Not impressed.

500ml bottle. Aroma is all cinnamon and Christmas spices, so is the taste. I get what they’re going for, and they certainly nail that. I just don’t love cinnamon, especially in a beer. Re-rate: On nitro at Vultures Lane. Not sure if it's this year's vintage or the fact it's on nitro, but the balance of different spices was way better than last time. Cinnamon, ginger, all spice (as in the spice called all spice not that the beer tastes all like spice), plenty of biscuit, toffee, caramel. Lots going on. Nice full body on the nitro. Went from something I found pretty disappointing last year to one of my favourite NZ beers. Good job.
