Tap pint at Malthouse, Wellington. Pours clear gold with white foam. Aroma & taste: mild malt character with mild hoppy hints. Light to moderate sweet and bitter. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Entry level craft indeed. Or dull as fuck.

City of Ales 2019. Pours black. Toast, coffee, dark fruit, touch of acidity. Medium body. Bit thin and not as much roast as I'd like. Not bad.

330ml can at home. Effervescent pale straw colour. Large active white head, dissipates quickly. Nose is pine, bread, crackers. Taste is astringent spruce, some citrus hops. Quick refreshing finish.
