355mL can. Pours clear pale yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma has fresh grass, lemon. Flavour has a lot of grainy malts, some chemical bitterness, something iron-like that lingers on the palate. Something is a bit off here.

12 oz. can, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a very strange hop character, with mineraly notes, a touch of sulphur, light lemon, but none of the usual hop tang you tend to get with NZ hops. Flavour is very dirty, with lots of muddled, earthy graininess, a touch of sulphur, no real hop vibrance, and mineraly notes. There's something wrong here -- not infected but just terrible hop expression and a very poor mouthfeel, finishing quite astringent. Bad.

16oz can. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a huge tan head. Not sure what's up with this one, it pours like it might be infected. Poured with a very, very huge tan head. Aroma was coffee, roast. Flavor was fresh coffee, roasted malts. Flavor was okay.
