Keg at the brewpub. Clear amber-gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has sweet fruit with a resinous edge. Almost medicinal. Flavourwise it's bitter - resin and quinine. Spice. Gooseberry appears. The flavour grows on me as it warms up. Some hints of bready underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Essentially a Westie for me. As noted above, it grew on me after I initially thought it was a tad weak.

Keg at the brewpub. Hazy pale yellow. Foamy white head. Aroma has herbal and slightly vinous edged stone fruit. Dank. Flavourwise it's then suprisingly low key. Sour throughout - actually quite vinous. Spice. Presuming there are NZ hops. Then some stone fruits come through. Underlying watered down porridge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Wanted to like this more but it just falls short of expectations.

Keg at the brewpub. Barely hazy - more of an opaque gold. Frothy foamy white head. Aroma has sweet soft stone fruit and a pinch of spice. Flavourwise it has an initial sourness before soft sweet fruit comes through. Peripheral bitterness. Underlying light porridge. Light. Thin to slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation is lazy with it. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasent.

Keg at the brewpub. Hazy-opaque amber. Foamy white head. Aroma is sweet and reminds me of fondant bananas. Yeastie. A hint of cloves. Flavourwise it's again sweet although there is more of a bitter edge than in the aroma - citrus and cloves. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent acidic finish. OK Hefe - could do with being less sweet (like me).

Keg at the brewpub. Clear copper gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma is malty with a citrus edge and light spice. Flavourwise it has a sweetness to it's citrus as well as sournss, over a grainy and malty core. Metallic edge. Light. Thin. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough.

(Keg at Viisi Penniä, 20260703) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized, white and it lasted long. Aroma had citrus fruits, resin and honey. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were resin, pine, ripe fruits, honey and bitterness. Aftertaste had resin and bitterness. A good hoppy brew with sweet notes.
