440ml can. Murky yellow, big white head. Aroma of gooseberries, white wine, herbal dankness. Taste is the same, some lovely Nelson here, full on gooseberries, white wine, herbal, citrus, tropical fruits, pithy hop finish. Medium bodied. Great one.

Can from Candy & Liquor, Birmingham. Hazy yellow with good white top. Fresh fruity hop aroma with citrus, melon, flora, light pine. Taste starts quite mellow with a nice fruitiness or orange and melon. Finishes with a modest bitterness but with pine needles and zest coming through. Light to medium bodied, slick, fine carbonation. Tasty.

440ml can. Murky yellow, white head. Aroma peaches, passionfruit, grapefruit. Taste is sweet and juicy, peach, passionfruit, grapefruit and lime, Nelson is subdued, low bitterness. Medium bodied. A fantastic NEIPA but that Kohia is powerful stuff, it changes Nelson so much.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Somewhat fluffy pale malts, a tad thin, a decent creamy sweetness. The Kiwi hop trio start with soft pine and a light but clear skunk. Peacharine floral candy peach and nectarine emerge, nicely juicy, and dominate a light but pleasant key lime Motueka streak. Hard to discern any NS but, it may be delivering the skunk. Finishes airy and crisp with a very light pinch of hop spice. A pleasant affair indeed.

30th December 2024 Can. This version also has El Dorado hops. A light haze on this paleish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a fine minerally crispness. Light malts, slightly thin but smooth and bringing an almost ephemeral creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine hop intro. Very light and soft hop skunk lurks below bright citrus, modern Simcoe pineapple peeping through. The back end reveals modern Mosaic candy fruits and a whisper of El Dorado Sakura, if you are looking for it. Crisp finish. An assured and layered apa from FLOC.

On tap at The Green Goddess, Blackheath Royal Standard. Milky orange pour with a wispy light orange head. Mango, passionfruit, papaya, peach & apricot jam aromas. Taste is mango, papaya, passionfruit, pineapple, peach, more apricot jam. Breakfast juice vibe. Rich sweet fruit linger. Very good.

A medium haze on this orange tinted yellow beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Crisp pine and mild but persistently nibbly hop spice. Light crisp cooling pine. A nice broad smorgasbord of hop fruits here. Some impressive retrieval of Nelson grape and mild Strata passion fruit. A little Motueka lime and a very light touch of modern Mosaic candy fruits and blueberries on the light crisp finish. 3 or the 4 hops used here, I normally find faded in most beers I drink and, whilst none of them are punching like they once did, the fact that they are ALL recognisable in one beer in late 2024, I find particularly impressive. Interesting, engaging and very drinkable.
