Good clarity, very pale with straw and flax. Small, white head.
Fruity and juicy with light spice, light mango. No crude esters and clean yeast. No booze.
Peachy with pineapple and white bread. Light acidity. A bit soggy of texture though the flavors are well-done and it's not over-hopped.

16 oz can. Aroma is floral and spicy. Flavor so very soft fruit character. But it’s mostly spicy and herbal. Maybe a hint of stone fruit after it gets warm. Decent.

Canned 2/4/25, drunk 5/3/25.
Moderately hazy, Lemon-brass.
Intense citrus, mineral, lemony and a bit of wet dog. Cracker, tropical fruit and a bit of funky yeast.
So rich and soft. Big malts. Wow, this doesn't even smell malty yet it's intensely malty. Pineapple and mango and papaya. Could do a bit more attenuation and crisp, bitter hop notes. Just a bit sweet and sluggish.

Moderately-to-heavily hazy, bright lemon-golden. Small, white head.
Mineral, cracker, fruit salad accented with lime and white wine. Tangerine and just enough malt lingering. Excellent minerality, as well.
Oh shit that's malty! Excellent malt depth with good attenuation. Cookie, white bread and plentiful lemony-fruit salad with light white wine and mineral. Motueka is done really well here. Tons of flavor for its size. My second beer from these guys and I love.

Aromas are citrus, malt and a slight hint of vanilla. Flavors are similar to nose with vanilla coming on much stronger. Good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Slightly soft mouth. Normally I'm not much of a fan of milkshake IPAs but this isn't too bad.
