Pours a hazy, light grapefruit-juice yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is a touch on the dank side, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, including the dank, upfront note. Mouthfeel seems a touch thin. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

16 oz can. Flavor notes of peach, and grapefruit, alongside subtle honey like malt. The bitterness is light herbal / piney tones. Texture has a really nice crispness that gives it a refreshing quality. Real good.

Canned 5/7/25 drunk 7/16/25.
Clear copper-golden-peach. Small, white head.
Oh yeah, this is a Vienna. Not all that toast and caramel and shit. Just a bunch of base malt adding honey with a bit of light toffee. Clean, with herbal hops.
Soft and very succulent. This is malty as shit. To that end, it's soft and not toasty or caramel-forward but it is a touch sweet and thick. A bit more attenuation would work wonders here.

Canned 5/28/25, drunk 7/9/25.
Mostly clear, deep brass-golden with a firm, white head that slowly recedes to partial cover.
Rich spice and unripe guava with a bit of tangerine and lemon juice. Not too acidic and while it's quite hoppy, per the style, there's still room for some honey-like maltiness to balance. Clean and crisp finish.
Light mineral, lemon, tangerine and guava with a good spiciness and modest bitterness. Honey and cracker-like malts balance appropriately and there's good depth and attenuation.

Canned 6/18/25, drunk 7/9/25.
Turbid, concrete-to pale-bronze. Medium-sized, creamy, white head.
Ho baby...that is NIIIICE. Just like the previous Yodel, this is top tier stuff, nearing perfection. Juicy, spicy, clean and bright with no punch, chalk, resin, alcohol, excess sugar. Honey-like malts balance gently and easily. This is all the NZ hop spice you want and none of the more herbal spice that you don't. Stone fruit, white wine, mineral and earth.
Round, malty, juicy and with plentiful stone fruit, white wine, mineral and zesty lime spice. Spice isn't quite as compelling in the flavor as the nose makes it out to be, but this is still every bit as polished and well-executed with no excess sugar, resin, alcohol, etc...Deep, pillowy texture with excellent attenuation and balance. What a phenomenal series. May even have to trade for the new Peacharine version.
