500ml can. Slightly hazy red amber, off-white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, pine, berries, grapefruit. Taste is sweet and malty with a good balance between malts and hops, caramel, biscuit, a bit earthy, dried fruits, grapefruit, very piney, bitter finish. Medium bodied. Great rare red DIPA but could do without the earthiness - at least there was a lot less of that than their previous one had.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy and semi dry palate, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a decent light creamy sweetness. Hop spice starts to nibble straight away and keeps going. Good cooling pine into light but juicy hop fruits, light citrus and mild tropical fruits. Some savoury skunk on the back end before a semi dry and reintensified hop spice. Impressive!

Can from The Beer Cave. Hazy pale golden body with a white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of melon, freshly squeezed lemon and orange peel. Flavour of grapefruit and melon. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. The aroma is my particularly bright and juicy.

Can from The Beerhive. Clear deep golden body with an off-white head. Fine carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of tinned orange and lemon sponge. Flavour of tangerine and pineapple. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is juicy and tasty, but I think it would have been even better with more bitterness. The hop bill is more fitting of an east coast IPA than a west coast IPA.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Milky golden body with a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of mango and melon. Flavour of melon, lime and mint. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. An interesting hop combo that really shines; the limey Motueka is delicious.
