From a 440ml can on 11/3/2026. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with a small head. The nose is herbal, green, with notes of unripe fruit. Tastes like the nose suggests - quite intense, again with some green and herbal elements, along with some passionfruit and orange. Finishes with a medium tangy bitterness. Medium body with average carbonation. Interesting if also slightly odd.

From a 440ml can on 7/3/2026. Pours a hazy deep golden with a medium head. The nose is dominated by strong ripe tropical notes. Sweet, strong and fruity on the sip, with lots of mango, orange, peach and apricot, finishing with a nice tangy bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Nicely done, but not nearly as good as the Radio Silence DIPA I had yesterday.

From a 440ml can on 6/3/2026. Pours a cloudy, milky golden with a medium head. The nose ripe and tropical. Tastes of tropical and stone fruit - peach, apricot, melon and mangy, with a firm spicy bitterness at the back. Has a silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. These guys do smashing hazies. Just lovely

From a 440ml can on 26/1/2026. Pours near black with a medium deep tan head. The nose is strong with lots of chocolate, cocoa and coconut. Super intense on the sip with bitter dark choolate, with more cocoa and coconut. Roasty and lightly salty at the back with a decent whack of booze. The palate is a touch thick and creamy, the carbonation moderate. Not overly sweet but still a touch dessertish, if also bloody intense. An impressive, complex sipper.

Can. Clear gold, modest white head. Aroma of grapefruit, grass, white grapes, pine, light bread. Medium bodied, lowish carbonation. Nelson Sauvin elbows its way to the front with grass, grapes and gooseberries. There's not much to the malt but it doesn't seem thin. 6- A little resin gathers towards the fairly bitter but off dry finish.

From a 440ml can on 7/11/2025. Pours a cloudy, milky, dirty golden with a medium head. The nose features lots of ripe tropical and stone fruit notes. Taste wise, this is sublime Motueka goodness - masses of apricot and mango, with hints of berries, lemon and lime, in a lightly spicy tangy finish. The palate is pillowy and creamy, with softish carbonation. Just outstanding.

Can. Unclear deep amber with a pale beige head that fades to a fat cap. Aroma of toffee, bread, dried fruit, somewhat earthy spices. Not all that sweet even before the quite firm bitterness. Mouthfilling richness but the toffee and dried fruit give way to quite punchy relieving spiced bitterness at the end. Good.

From a 440ml can on 10/10/2025. Pours a cloudy deepish golden with a medium head. Has a big fruity and floral nose, with lots of tropical and citrus notes. This is packed full of juicy goodness of the sip. There's a elange of fruits ranging from mandarin, peach, passionfruit, mango, melon and white grape. Quite sweet up front but finishes with a pretty firm spicy bitterness with lots of citrus zest. Has a lovely pillowy mouthfeel with average carbonation. Big, bold and cohesive. Super impressive.
