Cask at ACBF 2012. A golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of spices, citrus fruits, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, hops, grass, and lemons, leading to a bitter finish.

At the Brewpub! Almost clear gold beer. Tidy white head. Palate is light and slightly soft. Fine minerally carbonation. Nice hops - bitterish grass and mild orange pith. Unusual trace red berry fruits, strawberry readily identifiable. Touch of marmalade. Finishes dry and pretty bitter. Long strong bitter linger. Nice beer but just a little thin in the palate. The Beehive should sod off and get a life!

(Cask at Brew Wharf, London Bridge, London, 24 Nov 2012) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit and resin. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, resin and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. Light body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh ale with an impressive hop character. The low abv makes it very drinkable. Nice one.

At the Brewpub. Clear but very dark brown beer. Tidy pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry with moderate carbonation. The dark malt starts with a light touch but develop a roasty bitterness punch. Tangy orange fruit in the mid. Sweet and bitter pine in the finish with traces of reb berry fruits and rye spice and pinch of ash. Bitter linger. Interesting beer.

At the Brew Pub. Very slight haze on this gold beer, tiny white head. Palate is smooth and fresh and a little dry. Nice hop this Wai Iti. It has some bitterness, especially in the aftertaste. The dominant flavour is lime, there is also a little pine and a touch of tangy tropical fruits. Smooth finish with a tangy lime linger. Love the lime vibe!
